1. Create a Service Account

Log in to Tenable as an administrator, click the Settings gear in the top right corner, and go to Access Control.

• Create a service user account using an email that is not tied to an individual employee.
• Assign the new account the minimal role of Basic User.
• Log out of the administrator account, then log in using the newly created service account.

2. Create API Keys for Service Integration

Click on the profile avatar for the logged-in user and navigate to the user's My Profile.

• In the left-side navigation, select API KEYS.
• In the bottom-right, click the Generate button. A warning in the top-right will appear, stating that this operation will overwrite any previously generated keys. Click Continue.
• You will be provided with two keys: access key and secret key. Copy and store these in a secure vault for later use.

Configure the Integration

Create your integration by supplying all configuration values.

Secret: accessKey=access-key;secretKey=secret-key (copy the keys from Step 2 above)
