Create scan

Creates a scan configuration. For more information and request body examples, see Create a Scan.

Note: Tenable Vulnerability Management limits the active number of scans to 10,000 scans. Tenable recommends you re-use scheduled scans instead of creating new scans. Alternatively, you can delete unused scans. An HTTP 403 error is returned if you attempt to create a scan after you have already reached the scan limit of 10,000.

Requires the Scan Operator [24] user role or the VM.VM_SCAN.VM_SCAN.CREATE custom role privilege. See Roles.
