Privilege level for Cisco ISE

Commands Required for the Scan

show running-config

Privilege Levels

According to the Cisco ISE CLI guide the role - admin or user, decides the privileges of the current user. 

A regular user with no admin access cannot execute the "show running-config" command, which is the primary command needed for the scans. Hence, the minimal privilege for a successful Cisco ISE ML scan is the Admin role.

- User with 'Admin' role:

Username: cli_admin
Role: Admin
