Permissions by feature
When you set up Prisma Cloud Compute to secure your cloud workloads, you’ll need to ensure you’ve granted Prisma Cloud the right permissions.
The following tables list the permissions required for each of Compute’s protection capabilities.
You can review the permissions needed for agentless scanning in each cloud service provider:
AWS
The following table shows the required permissions needed if you are using AWS.
You can also review the permissions needed for agentless scanning in AWS.
