How to enable user scan?

Issue

How to enable the "scan" action for end users?

Environment

• Imunify360
• ImunifyAV
• Malware Scanner

Solution

imunify360-agent config update '{"PERMISSIONS": {"allow_malware_scan": true}}'

imunify-antivirus config update '{"PERMISSIONS": {"allow_malware_scan": true}}'

All user scans are scheduled using a single queue. Thus, multiple scans requested by users will not affect server performance.

Alternate command for WHM:

cut -d":" -f1 /etc/userplans | sort -n | uniq | grep -v "userplans v" | xargs imunify360-agent feature-management enable --feature av --users

Cause

End-user scans are disabled by default.
