For more details, see Create an organization access token. Sign in to Docker using the organization access token.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n      $ docker login --username <your_organization_name>\n```\n\nConnect your local Docker environment to your organization's Docker Scout service.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n      $ docker scout enroll <your_organization_name>\n```\n\nIndex existing images. You only need to do this once.\n\nRun docker scout watch with the --all-images flag to backfill all existing images in the registry.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n   $ docker scout watch \\\n     --org <your-org> \\\n     --registry <registry-name>.azurecr.io \\\n     --all-images\n```\n\nConfirm the images have been indexed by viewing them on the Scout Dashboard.\n\nContinuously watch for new images.\n\nRun docker scout watch to poll for new images going forward. Use --interval (default 60 seconds) to control polling frequency, and --repository and --tag to narrow scope.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n   $ docker scout watch \\\n     --org <your-org> \\\n     --registry <registry-name>.azurecr.io \\\n     --refresh-registry\n``` …\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
