# Add a container image

> Resolve the reference to a digest, track the image, and start the first scan unless `scan` is false. When the image is already tracked, Strix returns it with `created` false and a `200` status. Session callers must hold the admin or analyst role. Container scanning requires the Enterprise plan.
