Nessus scan

Path Finder

Hi All,

I'm working on a project to create some dashboards that display a lot of information and one of the questions that I'm facing is how to know if Nessus scans are credentialed, I looked at some events, and it indicates the check type: local. Is this means the scan is credential ? 

Also tried to look into the events to see if there are anything that indicated that the scan is authenticated.

Thanks in advance for any information may help.
