Credentials are needed to read and change files in most repositories. If your repositories have the same credentials, you can use a single credentials definition for those repositories.

In ePO - On-prem, select one of the following:
Menu → Data Protection → DLP Discover
Menu → Data Protection → DLP Policy Manager
Click the Definitions tab.
In the left pane, select Other → Credentials.
Select Actions → New Item.
Enter a unique name for the definition. The Description and Domain name are optional fields. All other fields are required.
If the user is a domain user, use the domain suffix for the Domain name field. If the user is a workgroup user, use the local computer name.
Note
To crawl all site collections in a SharePoint web application, use a credential which has Full read permission on the entire web application.
For Windows domain repositories, click Test Credential to verify the user name and password from ePO - On-prem.
This does not test the credentials from the Discover server.
Note
There is no verification for credentials that are not part of a Windows domain. If a scan fails due to incorrect credentials, an event is created on the Operational Event List page.
