The following describes how to assign users to access sessions only for connections for which they are granted permission.
Users need the Search privilege to access the Search interface.
Assigning the Search privilege to a user on the Users & Access Control > Appliance Access page, automatically enables the Search in all connections privilege, and grants the user access to every session, even if the user is not a member of the groups listed in the Access Control option of the particular connection policy.
Prerequisites
-
You have created a user for which you want to assign the search privilege. For more information, see Creating local users in One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS).
-
You have created a usergroup. For more information, see Managing local user groups.
To assign users to access sessions only for connections for which they are granted permission
-
Navigate to Users & Access Control > Appliance Access.
Figure 118: Users & Access Control > Appliance Access — Configuring search privileges
-
Assign the Search privilege to your usergroup as described in Assigning privileges to user groups for the One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) web interface.
-
Deselect the Search in all connections privilege so that users can access sessions only for connections for which they are granted permission.
-
To grant permission to a specific connection, navigate to the Connections page of the traffic (for example to Traffic Controls > SSH > Connections), and select the connection policy to modify.
Figure 119: Traffic Controls > Protocol name > Connections > Access Control — Configuring search privileges
-
Navigate to Access Control and click
.
-
Enter the name of the usergroup whose members are permitted to access the Search interface into the Authorizer Group field. This group must exist on the Users & Access Control > Local User Groups page.
Caution: Usernames, the names of user lists, and the names of usergroups are case sensitive.
-
Set the permissions of the usergroup.
-
If the usergroup can authorize (that is, enable) and audit (that is, monitor in real-time and download the audit trails) the sessions, select Permission > Follow&Authorize.
-
If the usergroup can only audit the sessions but cannot authorize, select Permission > Follow.
NOTE: If the Client user is > Member of field is set, the auditor can only monitor the sessions of the specified usergroup. However, if Client user is > Member of field is set, the Auditor cannot access the Sessions page. To avoid this problem, add another Access Control rule for the Authorizer Group without setting the Client user isfield.
The admin user of One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) can audit and authorize every connection.
-
Result
Users with the relevant privileges can now access the sessions for which they are granted permission. If users do not have the required permission to access sessions, a warning message is displayed and no session is visible as shown below:
