An Overview of Enterprise Reporter Communications and Credentials Required

There are many communication channels in Enterprise Reporter, involving different sets of credentials. This allows for controlled access to your environment, but you must understand where each set of credentials are used, and what permissions they need.

Figure 2 outlines where and for what each of the credentials are used, and the following tables explain the necessary permissions. For information on managing the credentials used in the Configuration Manager, see the Using the Credential Manager section in the Quest Enterprise Reporter Configuration Manager User Guide in the Technical Documentation.

Figure 2. Credentials used to communicate in the Configuration Manager

Node Credential and Alternate Credential Details for On-Premises Discoveries

Node credentials are provided when a discovery node is created, and you can modify them as needed. By default, the node’s credentials are used to enumerate scopes and access on-premises targets.

If you want to use different credentials for a particular discovery, you can configure them in the Discovery Wizard. By using these alternate credentials, you can target anything on-premises for which you have credentials, in any domain. You can minimize the permissions given to node credentials, and use alternate credentials for scoping and collecting your on-premises discoveries.

The following table outlines the use of the node and alternate credentials, and how to properly configure your environment to ensure successful data collection:

Table 7. Node Credentials and Alternate Credentials in Configuration Manager
From	To	Permission Details	Configuration
Discovery Node	Enterprise Reporter Server	Provide server with job status, errors, statistics and logs.	Configured during node creation, or when you edit the node properties to change the credentials. The node credentials must have local administrator access to the host computer and be a member of the group “Reporter_Discovery_Nodes”.
Discovery Node	Shared Data Location (if the cluster is configured to use one)	Read and write to the shared data location during data collection.	The shared data location is configured during the creation of a cluster. Ensure the node has read and write access to this file share.For more information, see the Things to Consider Before Creating a Cluster section in the Configuration Manager User Guide in the Technical Documentation.
Discovery Node	Enterprise Reporter Database	There are two options for communicating with the database: 1. You can use the same service credentials that the node service uses. 2. You can specify SQL credentials only for use when the database is accessed. The credentials you choose must be able to read and write to the database.	The account must be in the Reporter_Discovery_Nodes security group. (Note that if you use the same account as the Enterprise Reporter server it is already permissioned appropriately). For more information, see Role Based Security in Enterprise Reporter and Configuring the Database in the Quest Enterprise Reporter Installation and Deployment Guide in the Technical Documentation. If you use SQL authentication to connect with the database, you must manually permission the SQL user, either by adding them to the database role Discovery_Nodes_Role or by permissioning specific tables in the database.
Discovery Node	Targets	Read access on all targets. For on-premises discoveries, all domains with which the credentials have a forest or domain level trust will be enumerated. If required, you can configure alternate credentials for specific discoveries, instead of using the default node credentials.	The targets are defined as part of a discovery. The discovery tasks are assigned to a particular node based on availability, so all nodes in a cluster should have access to all targets defined in all discoveries assigned to the node’s cluster. For on-premises discoveries, ensure the node credentials or alternate credentials have read access to the target. In addition, a trust is required between the node computer and the targets. For more information on Azure and Office 365 Discoveries, see Detailed Permissions for Enterprise Reporter Discoveries .

Detailed Permissions for Enterprise Reporter Discoveries

The following table outlines the permissions required for Enterprise Reporter discoveries.

Table 8. Detailed Permissions required for Enterprise Reporter discoveries
Discovery Type	Permissions Required for Discovery Credential
Active Directory	An account with Active Directory read permissions is required to collect domain information, trusts, sites, domain controllers, and Active Directory computers, users, groups, and organizational units. The account being a member of the Built-in Domain Users group is sufficient to assign read permissions.
Azure Active Directory	An identity with read permission for the discovery target tenant. Read permissions are required for collection of tenant information, Azure Active Directory users, groups, group members, roles, and service principals. If additional credentials are being specified to minimize Azure throttling limitations, these credentials must have the same permissions as stated above. Also refer to credentials required to create and consent to the Enterprise Reporter Azure application required for this discovery. For more information, see Using the Tenant Application Manager .
Azure Resource	An identity with read permissions for the discovery target tenant. Read permissions are required for collection of subscription, Resource groups, and resources. If additional credentials are being specified to minimize Azure throttling limitations, these credentials must have the same permissions as stated above.

For more information, see Using the Tenant Application Manager .
Computer	An account with local administrator access on the scope computers to collect computer information, local groups and users, printers, services, policies, and event logs.
Exchange	To collect from Exchange targets, the credential account must have a mailbox on the target organization with access to read the permissions on the targets through EWS. To collect from Exchange 2007 targets, the credentials must be a member of the Exchange Organization Administrators Group. To collect from Exchange 2010, Exchange 2013, 2016, or Mixed Modes, the credentials must be a member of the Organization Management Group. To collect from Exchange 2016 or Exchange 2019, the credentials must have an administrator role with an assigned “ApplicationImpresonation” role.
Exchange Online	An account with access to the discovery target tenant. Read permission is required for collection of all Exchange Online information including mailboxes, mailbox delegates, public folders, mail-enabled users, mail contacts, distribution groups, group members, and permissions. If additional credentials are being specified to minimize Azure throttling limitations, these credentials must have the same permissions as stated above.
File Storage Analysis	An account with local administrator access on the scoped computer is required to collect file, folder, share, and home drive analysis data. For permissions required when collecting NAS devices, see Permissions for Enterprise Reporter Discoveries on NAS Devices .
Microsoft SQL	An account with local administrator access on the SQL Server is required. Additionally, the account must have read access to the scoped database to collect database information.
Microsoft Teams	An identity with read permissions for the discovery target tenant. Read permissions are required for collection of Microsoft Teams information including teams, members, channels, applications, and drives. If additional credentials are being specified to minimize Azure throttling limitations, these credentials must have the same permissions as stated above. Also refer to credentials required to create and consent to the Enterprise Reporter Microsoft Teams application required for this discovery. For more information, see Using the Tenant Application Manager .
NTFS	If collecting through the administrator share, an account with local administrator access to the scoped computer is required. If collecting through a network share, an account with read permissions to the scoped shares is required. For permissions required when collecting NAS devices, see Permissions for Enterprise Reporter Discoveries on NAS Devices .
OneDrive	An account with access to the discovery target tenant. Administrator permissions are required for collection of all drives including drive information, configuration settings, files, folders, and permissions. A SharePoint administrator role is recommended. Additionally, the discovery credentials must have site collection administrator rights to each drive that is being collected. If additional credentials are being specified to minimize Azure throttling limitations, these credentials must have the same permissions as stated above. Also refer to credentials required to create and consent to the Enterprise Reporter Azure application required for this discovery. For more information, see the Using the Tenant Application Manager section of the Configuration Manager User Guide in the Technical Documentation.
