Scan As options for scanning
We've now provided the option to scan using either Local System or Scan User. During a scan, a Windows service is created on the target. The Run As setting determines how this service "logs on" after it is created. To access these settings, click Options > Preferences (or press Ctrl+Comma) and select Scanning in the Preferences window.
Scan User
Executes scans on the target in a non-interactive session as the Scan User. This is the default setting and is appropriate for the vast majority of scans.
Local System
Executes scans using the Local System account on the target. PDQ Inventory connects to the target using the Scan User credentials, creates the PDQInventoryRunner service, and then instructs the service to log on as Local System.
