Overview
The KnowBe4 Inspector inspects the KnowBe4 platform to report on Users, Phishing Tests, Awareness Campaigns, and Account Information.
A Platinum-level, or higher, subscription with KnowBe4 is required for this Inspector.
Parent/Child Capabilities
Due to current limitations of the KnowBe4 API, unfortunately, Liongard can not set this Inspector up using the Parent/Child Inspector model. Each account in KnowBe4 requires a separate API.

Inspector Setup Preparation
Generating an API Key
- Login to your KnowBe4 account and navigate to “Account Settings” by selecting your account from the top right of the page.
- Scroll down the page until you reach the “API” section
- If the checkbox to enable the reporting API has not been selected, enable it now
This will generate an API token that you will need to record in a secure place and add to the inspector configuration screen.
- Copy the API Token and click "save" at the bottom of the page
Note your instance URL
Keep this in mind for the inspector setup process.
