Possible to force a new collection instead of waiting until the next collection time?

[brucegarlock]

I had an issue with the permissions for the Read only Skyline user and role I created, and everything has now been resolved.  Is it possible to force a new Skyline collection to see the results or do I need to wait until the next collection time which is a few days away?

Hello,

You can always deploy a new Skyline collector in your environment, If you would be testing the feature we would not recommend you to deploy a new collector, because the new collector would also take 48 hours to reflect the changes or the update on the environment.

About Read only account for Skyline user would require more privileges as there are new features which are added on Skyline.

Below is the article which would help you configure the User Role for Skyline:
