For SSPM to detect posture risks in your Automox instance, you must onboard your Automox instance to SSPM. Through the onboarding process, SSPM connects to an Automox API by using an API key that you generate from the Automox console. After connecting to the Automox API, SSPM scans your Automox instance for misconfigured settings and account risks.

The supported Automox account plans for SSPM scans are the following plans:

Automate Essentials
Automate Enterprise

To access your Automox instance, SSPM requires the following information, which you will specify during the onboarding process.

Item	Description
API Key	A unique, alphanumeric string that you generate from an Automox account. SSPM will use the key to authenticate to the Automox API. The API key inherits the permissions of the Automox account.
Organization ID	A unique identifier for your organization within the Automox platform.

To onboard your Automox instance, you complete the following actions:

Generate and copy an API Key for your organization.
1. Identify the Automox account that you will use to create the API key.
  Required Permissions: The account that you use to generate the API key must have the following permissions that SSPM requires. To adhere to the principle of least privilege, you could create a custom role with this exact set of permissions and assign it to the account. The API key will inherit these permissions.
  
  Personal API Keys: Manage
  Organization: Read & Manage
  All API Keys: Read & List
  Groups: Read
  Patch Policy Management: Read
  User Management: Read
2. Using the credentials of the account you identified, log in to the Automox console.
3. Locate the settings menu icon in the upper right corner of the console. The settings menu icon is a vertical ellipsis (three dots). Click the settings icon and select Secrets & Keys.
4. On the Secrets & Keys page, scroll to the API Keys section and Add a new key.
5. Fill out the fields of the Create an API Key dialog and Create the key.
  
  Automox adds the new key to the list of API keys.
6. From the API key's entry in the list, click the copy icon to copy the key. Paste the key into a text file.
  
  Don’t continue to the next step unless you have copied the API key. You must provide this key to SSPM during the onboarding process.
Identify your Organization ID. To retrieve your Automox Organization ID, complete the following steps:
1. Click the organization selector icon in the upper right corner of the console and select Manage Orgs and Users.
2. On the Setup and Configuration page, select the Organizations tab.
3. From the list of organizations, copy your organization ID and paste it into a text file.
  
  Don't continue to the next step unless you have copied the Organization ID. You must provide this information to SSPM during the onboarding process.
