SQL Inventory Manager connects to registered SQL Server instances and their host computers to collect information. The collection service requires permissions to connect and gather information using SQL and WMI connection credentials.

Depending on the level of access and actions you want SQL Inventory Manager to perform on your environment, you should check you have the following permissions in each account:
