You must configure One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords properly for users to receive email notifications:

Password release request workflow

One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords provides secure control of managed accounts by storing account passwords until they are needed, and releases them only to authorized persons. Then, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords automatically updates the account passwords based on configurable parameters.

Typically, a password release request follows this workflow.

  1. Request: Users that are designated as an authorized user of an entitlement can request passwords for any account in the scope of that entitlement's policies.
  2. Approve: Depending on how the Security Policy Administrator configured the policy, a password release request will either require approval by one or more Safeguard for Privileged Passwords users, or be auto-approved. This process ensures the security of account passwords, provides accountability, and provides dual control over the system accounts.
  3. Review: The Security Policy Administrator can optionally configure an access request policy to require a review of completed password release requests for accounts in the scope of the policy.

Requesting a password release

If you are designated as an authorized user of an entitlement, you can request passwords for any account in the scope of the entitlement's policies.

You can configure One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to notify you of pending password release workflow events, such as when a password release request is pending, denied, or revoked, and so forth. For more information, see Configuring alerts.

To request a password release ( web client)

  1. Click Home then New Request or open the My Requests page then click New Request.

    NOTE: You can also submit an access request from your Favorites pane, if you previously saved it as a favorite.

  1. On the New Access Request page, select the accounts to be included in the access request and the type of access being requested for each selected account. The accounts include linked accounts, if any. You can search for accounts based on asset information. The assets available for selection are based on the scope defined in the entitlement's access request policies.

    NOTE: Use the button to select the columns to display.

    • Asset: The display name of the managed system.

    • Account: The available account appears in the Account column. When an asset has multiple accounts available, either Select Account(s) or the account name appears as a hyperlink in the Account column.

      If Show Account Availability is enabled you can identify if a privileged account is available or not. Accounts display a warning badge if in use by a request. An account's status is updated immediately after being changed in order to avoid overlapping account requests from multiple users. Hover over the badge to display <X> of <X> accounts in use. Showing account availability requires additional API queries that may impact performance. This toggle is set by the user not an administrator. There is no global toggle.

      NOTE: When the policy governing the request has enabled Allow simultaneous access for multiple user access, the request may still be available even though Show Account Request Availability indicates it is in use.

    • Access Type: The type of access request appears in the Access Type column. If the type is a drop-down, multiple access request types are available. Open the drop-down and select the access type, for example, Password, RDP, SSH, SSH Key, or Telnet.
