# Scanning Storage

> Capturing storage systems through an HTTP endpoint – with credentials of the type User Account.

The *Storage* scan module captures storage systems reachable through an
HTTP endpoint. It belongs to the *Storage* category and runs the standard
wizard path: *Basics* › *Targets* › *Schedule* › *Summary*.

## Entering targets

Each row of the target list carries three columns:

| Column | Content |
| - | - |
| *Endpoint* | HTTP endpoint or storage name of the system |
| *Credentials* | an entry of the type *User Account* |
| *Provider* | selection of the storage type |

<Note>
  Unlike with the system modules, the *Credentials* column here may not stay
  empty – *Storage* is not one of the five modules allowed to run under the
  gateway's service account.
</Note>

How to enter several targets at once or import them via CSV is in
[Creating a Scan Job](/docs/en/scan/create-inventory#entering-targets).

job afterwards is in [Managing Jobs](/docs/en/scan/manage-jobs).
