# Non-privileged SSH commands

# Non-privileged SSH commands during probe-based discovery {#ariaid-title1}

* Release version: Yokohama

* ![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 3 minutes to read

These tables display the SSH commands run by Discovery probes on target devices during horizontal discovery. These SSH commands don't require elevated privileges to run.

## Operating systems {#discovery-ssh-probe-commands__section_md1_5jd_11b}

For information on commands used by Service Mapping during the top-down discovery, see [Service Mapping commands requiring a privileged user](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/KmX~uDsV3RoqnUbrW~2SFA "Service Mapping uses commands requiring elevated rights to discover and map Unix-based hosts in your organization. In addition to configuring necessary credentials, configure servers in your organization to allow Service Mapping to run these commands with elevated rights.") and [Service Mapping commands not requiring a privileged user](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/PWerd39b5nEL~pJPadH4lQ "Most of commands utilized by Service Mapping for discovery and mapping do not require elevated rights.").
