Minimum Necessary Permissions

Minimum necessary permissions are the permissions for the shared folder that are absolutely necessary for the Inventory Analyzer and Alloy Discovery to operate. These permissions are used for the Network Folder Audit and Remote Audit (FTP delivery or E-mail delivery) methods to create the most secure environment for the shared folder and audit snapshot files stored there.
