It is the responsibility of the Asset Administrator to add assets and accounts to SPP.

SPP allows you to set up Asset Discovery jobs that run automatically. For more information, see Asset Discovery job workflow..

Before you add systems to SPP, make sure they are properly configured. For more information, see Preparing systems for management..

NOTE: There are special considerations for adding an MS SQL asset to Safeguard. See KB 261806 for details.
