Accounts

A Safeguard for Privileged Passwords account is a unique identifier that Safeguard for Privileged Passwords uses to control access to assets. Managed accounts (including directory accounts and service accounts) and groups of accounts can be associated with an asset. Each account has an associated asset; if you delete an asset, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords permanently deletes all the accounts associated with it.

The Auditor and the Asset Administrator have permission to access Accounts.

On Unix assets, the accounts are stored in etc/passwd; however, each platform implements this concept differently.

Service accounts are designated with a Service Account icon. For more information, see About service accounts.

To access Accounts:

  • web client: Navigate to Asset Management > Accounts. If needed, you can use the partition drop-down to select the parent partition of the account. Select an account, then click to display additional information and options.

Selecting one of the accounts displays the following information:

  • Properties (account): Displays general information about the selected account. It also allows you to manage Passwords, SSH keys, API keys, and TOTP authenticators for the account.
  • Owners tab (account): Displays information about the owners of the account.
  • Dependent Assets (account): (Directory assets) Displays the assets that have dependency on the selected directory account. This tab only displays for a directory asset and displays the assets that have dependency on the selected directory account.
  • Check and Change Log tab (account): Displays the password and SSH key validation and reset history for the selected account.
  • Discovered Services tab (account): (Windows and Active Directory accounts) Displays information on the services dependent to a selected account.
  • Discovered SSH Keys (account): Displays the SSH keys discovered on the account.
  • History tab (account): Displays the details of each operation that has affected the selected account.

Properties (account)

The Properties tab lists information about the selected account.

To access Properties:

  • web client: Navigate to Asset Management > Accounts > (View Details) > Properties.

Information for the account displays. Not all the information listed below is applicable for every account.

The following options are available on the top of the Properties tab:

  • Discover SSH Keys: Use this option to run the selected SSH Key Discovery job.
  • Enable-Disable: Select one of the following:

    Select Enable to have Safeguard for Privileged Passwords manage a disabled asset. Account Discovery jobs find all accounts that match the discovery rule's criteria regardless of whether it has been marked Enabled or Disabled in the past.

    Select Disable to prevent Safeguard for Privileged Passwords from managing the selected asset. When you disable an asset, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords disables it and removes all associated accounts. If you choose to manage the asset later, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords re-enables all the associated accounts.

The following fields and options display on the secondary tabs on the Properties tab based on the type of asset (for example, Windows, Linux, LDAP, or Active Directory). Clicking the Edit button on one of the secondary tabs allows you to edit the account.

Table 74: Accounts Properties tab: General properties
Property Description
Name The name of the selected account.

Description

Description of the selected account.

Asset

The display name of the managed system associated with this account. Accounts are only associated with one asset.

Table 75: Accounts Properties tab: Management properties
Property Description
Access Requests Indicates which type(s) of access requests are enabled for this account.

Password Profile

The name of the password profile that governs the accounts assigned to a partition.

When a password profile is inherited from an asset or partition this will be indicated by the text (Inherited) next to the name of the password profile. When the password profile is explicitly set, a button will appear that allows you to clear the explicitly set password profile and instead use the inherited password profile.

SSH Key Profile

The name of the SSH key profile.

When an SSH key profile is inherited from an asset or partition this will be indicated by the text (Inherited) next to the name of the SSH key profile.

When the SSH key profile is explicitly set, a button will appear that allows you to clear the explicitly set SSH key profile. Once the cleared profile change is applied, the assigned inherited profile will be displayed. If there is no default SSH key profile designated for the partition, the asset will no longer have an SSH key profile assigned. If there is no SSH key profile explicitly set on the asset, the accounts on that asset will no longer have an SSH key profile assigned. Designating a default SSH key profile for the partition will ensure all assets and accounts in that partition have an inherited SSH key profile.
