If an SSH key is discovered for an account on an asset, it is by definition an authorized key. An authorized key is a public SSH key that has been added to the relevant file in a user's home directory on an asset so the user can employ the corresponding private key to log in.

SSH Key Discovery jobs are run to discover and manage SSH keys. For more information, see SSH Key Discovery.

Navigate to Asset Management > Profiles > View SSH Key Profiles > Discover SSH Key.
