**Summary**: How to set up and use the Qualys Vulnerability Management connector in Ivanti Neurons RBVM/ASPM/VULN KB.

## Overview

**Qualys Vulnerability Management** provides asset discovery and vulnerability assessment for on-premises and cloud environments. The Ivanti Neurons RBVM/ASPM/VULN KB platform supports client connector configurations to provide a scheduled upload of Qualys network scan information. When viewing the Neurons RBVM/ASPM/VULN KB Integrations page, it records and displays the last time data from the Qualys connector was uploaded.

When data is pulled from a specific scanner connector, it uploads the last 30 days of scan data into the Neurons RBVM/ASPM/VULN KB platform. This is a default setting that cannot be adjusted. Once the data has been pulled, it is automatically added to the default group. As a reminder, if the data already exists in the platform, it will automatically be moved to the specific group.

## Qualys User Permissions

A Qualys **user** can be assigned to one or more **roles**, which consolidate **permissions** that represent the rights to access features and functions. **API Access** can be given to a user when assigning or editing their role.

Locate **Users** in the **navigation bar** and either **create or edit** an existing user. In the pop-up window, select a **User Role**. Then, select or deselect the **API** checkbox. Click **Save**.

Enter a connector name, the specific Qualys Cloud instance URL, credentials for the Qualys user, and choose an existing network to associate the Qualys data with in the Neurons RBVM/ASPM/VULN KB platform. You can also add an optional SSL certificate. Click **Test Credentials** to verify the credentials are correct and have access to make API calls to the Qualys Vulnerability Management instance.
