Create scanner group

Creates a new scanner group. You cannot use this endpoint to:

  • Assign the new scanner group to a network object. Tenable Vulnerability Management automatically assigns new scanner groups to the default network object. To assign a scanner group to a network object, use the Assign scanners endpoint.
  • Configure scan routes for the scanner group. Instead, use the Update scan routes endpoint.
Requires the Scan Manager [40] user role or the VM.VM_SENSOR.SCANNER_GROUP.CREATE custom role privilege. See Roles.
