# Account discovery configurations
Account discovery configurations are the instances that discover accounts of a provider's environment. The types of account discovery configurations match the supported Devolutions Server providers.
To see the results of a scanning operation, click on the eye-shaped ***view result*** icon or the number shown in the ***Results*** column of a particular account discovery configuration.
To manage privileged accounts with the Devolutions Server PAM feature, select the accounts from the ***Account discovery configurations*** result page and click on the ***Import selected computers*** button. The accounts should then be available in the ***Privileged access*** section.
#### Import
| Option | Description |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Provider** | Select the [provider](https://docs.devolutions.net/pam/server/providers/) in the drop-down list. |
| **Path** | Select the destination path for the imported accounts. |
| **Account lifecycle policy** | Select the lifecycle policy source to apply to the imported accounts. |
| **Reset password on import** | Resets the password when the account is imported. |
#### Manage group assignments from scan results
From the scan results of an account discovery configuration, PAM operators can view the group assignments of a discovered account and manage them directly.
To open the group assignment form, select a discovered account in the scan results. The form displays the account details and a list of its assigned groups, each with an associated risk score and a checkbox for selection.
#### Add groups to JIT elevation
1. In the scan results, select a discovered account.
2. In the group assignment form, select one or more groups using the checkboxes.
3. Click ***Add to JIT***.
4. A confirmation message appears listing each group with a status of **Added** or **Duplicate**.
#### Remove group memberships
1. In the scan results, select a discovered account.
2. In the group assignment form, select one or more groups using the checkboxes.
3. Click ***Remove assignment***.
4. In the confirmation prompt, click ***Remove*** to confirm.
5. A confirmation message lists all groups the account was successfully removed from.
The ***Remove assignment*** button is only enabled when at least one group is selected.
