# View Patterns commands through the Discovery Patterns module

View all the commands required for an infrastructure or application pattern to verify you have sufficient permissions to run discovery.

## Before you begin

-   Confirm that the following applications have been installed:
    -   Pattern Designer Enhancements \(sn\_itom\_pde\)
    -   Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns \(sn\_itom\_pattern\)
-   If you’re viewing commands for the first time, have upgraded Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns, or have customized any pattern, refresh the command list by navigating to **All** > **Pattern Designer** > **Command Validation Tool** > **Commands List** and selecting **Refresh Command List**.

Role required: discovery\_admin

## About this task

The discovery\_admin role is required to access the **Discovery Patterns** module. Starting with Pattern Designer Enhancements version 3.9.0, the new pde\_viewer role can view pattern commands through the **Command List** module but can't edit or modify them. For more information, see [View Patterns commands through the Command List module](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/discovery/view-pattern-command-in-command-list.md).

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Pattern Designer** > **Discovery Patterns**.

2.  In the **Name** field, search for the relevant pattern.

3.  Select and hold \(or right-click\) the name of the pattern and select **List Pattern Commands**.


## Result

You’re redirected to the Command List form filtered for the selected pattern.

For more information on the Command List form fields, see [Command List form for pattern-based discovery](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/discovery/commands-list-discovery.md).
