Select Run Every to run the job along per the run details you enter. (If you clear Run Every, the schedule details are lost.)

  • Select a time frame:

    • Never: The job will not run according to a set schedule. You can still manually run the job.
    • Minutes: The job runs per the frequency of minutes you specify. For example, Run Every 30/Minutes runs the job every half hour over a 24-hour period. It is recommended you do not use the frequency of minutes except in unusual situations, such as testing.

    • Hours: The job runs per the minute setting you specify. For example, if it is 9 a.m. and you want to run the job every two hours at 15 minutes past the hour starting at 9:15 a.m., select Run Every 2/Hours/@ minutes after the hour 15.

    • Days: The job runs on the frequency of days and the time you enter.

      For example, Run Every 2/Days/Starting @ 11:59:00 PM runs the job every other evening just before midnight.

    • Weeks The job runs per the frequency of weeks at the time and on the days you specify.

      For example, Run Every 2/Weeks/Starting @ 5:00:00 AM and Repeat on these days with MON, WED, FRI selected runs the job every other week at 5 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

    • Months: The job runs on the frequency of months at the time and on the day you specify.

      For example, If you select Run Every 2/Months/Starting @ 1:00:00 AM along with Day of Week of Month/First/Saturday, the job will run at 1 a.m. on the first Saturday of every other month.

  • Select Use Time Windows if you want to enter the Start and End time. You can click Add or Remove to control multiple time restrictions. Each time window must be at least one minute apart and not overlap.

    For example, for a job to run every ten minutes every day from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., enter these values:

    Enter Run Every 10/Minutes and set Use Time Windows:

    • Start 10:00:00 PM and End 11:59:00 PM

    • Start 12:00:00 AM and End 2:00:00 AM

      An entry of Start 10:00:00 PM and End 2:00:00 AM will result in an error as the end time must be after the start time.

    If you have selected Days, Weeks, or Months, you will be able to select the number of times for the job to Repeat in the time window you enter.

    For a job to run two times every other day at 10:30 am between the hours of 4 a.m. and 8 p.m., enter these values:

    For days, enter Run Every 2/Days and set Use Time Windows as Start 4:00:00 AM and End 8:00:00 PM and Repeat 2.

Importing objects

On the desktop client, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords allows you to import a .csv file containing a set of accounts, assets, or users. A .csv template for import can be downloaded when you click  Import from the toolbar then click CSV Template Assistant for the dialog. For more information, see Creating an import file.

Once an import is completed, you can navigate to the Tasks pane in the Toolbox for details about the import process and invalid data messages. For more information, see Viewing task status.

To import objects

  1. In Administrative Tools, click Assets, Accounts, or Users based on what data you are importing.
  2. Click  Import from the toolbar.
  3. In the Import dialog, Browse to select an existing .csv file containing a list of objects to import.

  4. When importing assets, the Discover SSH Host Keys option is selected by default indicating that Safeguard will retrieve the required SSH host key for the assets specified in the .csv file.

  5. Click OK. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords imports the objects into its database.

Considerations for valid and invalid data

Safeguard for Privileged Passwords does not add an object if any column contains invalid data in the .csv file, with the following exceptions:

  • Assets PlatformDisplayName property:
    • If Safeguard for Privileged Passwords does not find an exact match, it looks for a partial match. If it finds a partial match, it supplies the <platform> Other platform.
    • If it does not find a partial match, it supplies the Other platform type.
  • Users TimeZoneId property: If Safeguard for Privileged Passwords does not find a valid TimeZoneId property (that is, does not find an exact match or no time zone was provided), it uses the local workstation's current time zone. Do not enter numbers or abbreviations for the TimeZoneId.
  • Users Password property: Safeguard for Privileged Passwords adds a user without validating the password you provide.

Details for importing directory assets, service accounts, users, and user groups

You can use the steps like those above to import your existing directory infrastructure (such as Microsoft Active Directory). Managed account users cannot be members of the Protected Users AD Security Group.

Additional information specific to directory import follows.

  1. Import the directory (and service account) via Administrative Tools | Assets | Import Asset and browse to select the .csv file. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords imports the directory as an asset.

    The directory's service account is automatically added to the list of accounts you can viewed via the Assets | Accounts tab.

  2. Import users and user groups.
    1. Import directory users via Administrative Tools | Users | Import Users and browse to select the .csv file.
    2. Assign to user groups via Administrative Tools | Users Groups | Users (select one or multiple users).
    3. Automatic synchronization: Once you import directory users and directory groups, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords automatically synchronizes the objects in its database with the directory schema attributes. User and group membership changes in the directory are reflected in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords. Directory users authenticate to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords with their directory credentials.
