When you purchase a subscription, certain plugins are activated automatically. If a paid plugin isn't activated automatically, you can manually activate it from the All Applications list in your instance.\n\n**Note:**\n\nBefore purchasing a subscription, you can evaluate the feature on a non-production instance without charge by requesting it from the Now Support Service Catalog.\n\nInstalling the Data Discovery Store App will auto install the Data Discovery APIs plugin\n\nRole required: admin\n\n## About this task\n\nThe following items are installed with data discovery:\n\n-   Roles\n-   Tables\n\nFor more information on the roles and tables installed, see [Data Discovery roles](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-security/data-discovery/data-discovery-roles.md) and [Default regular expression data patterns](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-security/data-discovery/default-data-patterns.md).\n\n## Procedure\n\n1.
