## Solving permission issues
## Solving permission issues (2 devices visible)
See also the [Permission overview guide](./FILE_PERMISSIONS.md).
Some Synology setups don't support `--cap-add` properly. This usually results in seeing only 2 devices and the following error shows when running `ARPSCAN`:
```bash
You don't have permission to perform this capture on that device
(socket: Operation not permitted)
```
To fix this you might need to set the container as ptiviledged `privileged: true` and run as root by setting a custom `PUID` and `PGID`.
See [running as root](./FILE_PERMISSIONS.md) for more details.
