    • Map Axonius fields to adapter fields - Use the Field Mapping Wizard to map Axonius fields to fields in external systems. In this way you can transfer data found in Axonius into the external system as part of the configuration of relevant enforcement actions. The wizard shows you which fields exist on the Axonius system, allowing you to map them easily.

      Note:

      For details, see Axonius to External Field Mapping.

    • Asset Tag - The asset tag of the asset being created or updated. If auto-incrementing is enabled in SNIPE-IT settings, this is not required and will be automatically generated.

    APIs

    Axonius uses the SNIPE-IT API.


    Required Permissions

    Personal Access Tokens reflect the permissions of the user the token is associated with. For example, if a user is only allowed to view assets but not update them, any API requests made using that user’s Personal Access Token will return an Unauthorized error if they attempt to perform an action their regular logged-in user isn’t permitted to do, such as updating an asset.

    For more details about other Enforcement Actions available, see Action Library.
