    Service Mapping commands requiring a privileged user

    Service Mapping uses commands requiring elevated rights to discover and map Unix-based hosts in your organization. In addition to configuring necessary credentials, configure servers in your organization to allow Service Mapping to run these commands with elevated rights.

    You do not run these commands directly. Service Mapping uses commands requiring elevated rights as part of the following processes:
    • host detection
    • process identification on port
    • discovering CIs using patterns

    Some of these commands do not require elevated rights, unless directories that Service Mapping must access are protected. For more information, see Service Mapping commands not requiring a privileged user.
