Configuring the "Run as" user in a Discovery schedule directs discovered Configuration Items (CIs) to the correct domain and maintains data isolation.

## Before you begin

Role required: discovery_admin

## About this task

In domain-separated environments, the domain of the user who creates a Discovery schedule typically determines where the discovered data is stored. Assigning a "Run as" user enables the discovery process to run under a different user's domain and permissions, enabling
administrators to control which domain stores the data and what resources the discovery process can access, regardless of who created the schedule.  
Note:  
This procedure applies only to existing Discovery schedules. For information about creating a Discovery schedule, see [Schedule a horizontal discovery](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/CIQEq9XeYjrEAd3sKWHEVg "A discovery schedule determines what horizontal discovery searches for, when it runs, and which MID Servers are used. Create a discovery schedule for your local environment or a schedule for discovering the resources in your cloud service account.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllDiscoveryDiscovery Schedules.
2. In the Name field, enter the name of the schedule you want to configure.
3. Double-click the Run as field to perform inline editing.  
   By default, the Run as column doesn't display in the Discovery Schedules \[discovery_schedule\] table. For information about customizing columns in tables, see [Personalize a list](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_PersonalLists&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-platform-user-interface&section=t_PersonalizeAList&ft:locale=en-US).
4. Enter the name of the user that you want the schedule to run as.
5. Select the check mark (![check mark icon]()) icon.
