My Requests

If you are a requester, click My Requests to make a request or see information about requests.

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 that is 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.

The My Request page has additional settings that can be used to configure the displayed information. Clicking the button will open a panel with the following options:

  • My Request Favorites: Select this option to display a widget showing configured favorite requests.

  • Show Account Request Availability (may impact performance): Select this option to show the account request availability. Depending on the number of requests this may impact performance.

  • Show Session Launch Button: Select this option to add a Launch Session button the My Request page. This button allows you to open sessions via registered URL schemes in the browser.

  • Show Web Session Launch Button: Select this option to add a Launch Web Session button the My Request page. This button allows you to open Safeguard Remote Access sessions via One Identity Starling.

  • Page Size: Use the associated tiles (25, 50, or 100) to select the number of requests that will be displayed on the My Request page.

To make a request

You must be an authorized user of an entitlement to create a request for the assets and accounts you need.

  1. Click My Requests to go to the My Requests page.
  2. Follow the workflow steps. For more information, see Privileged access requests.

To create a favorite

You can create favorites for requests you make often. For more information, see Favorites.

To view and manage requests

On the My Requests page, you can view the requests. Control the display using the following approaches:

  • Click then select Check-In All Available to check-in all the available requests, Clear All to remove all requests, or Cancel All Pending Time Requested to cancel and remove all pending requests.

  • Click Sort By then select to sort by Account Name, Asset Name, Due Next, Expiring Next, Most Recent, or Status.

    • Revoked: Approved requests retracted by the approver. The approver can revoke a request after the request has become available.
    • Expired: Requests for which the Checkout Duration has elapsed.

To launch web sessions

There are two options for launching browser-based sessions from the Safeguard for Privileged Sessions web client:

  • Launch Session: This option allows you to open Windows desktop-based sessions via registered URL schemes.

  • Launch Web Session: This button allows you to open Safeguard Remote Access sessions via One Identity Starling.

In order to use the Launch Web Session button to launch Safeguard Remote Access sessions, some additional requirements must be met:

Personal password vault

The personal password vault extends security and credential protection to business users to store and manage passwords. Users must have the Personal Passwords permission granted.

User benefits include:

  • Users can store up to 100 personal passwords, set optional expiration dates, and share passwords.
  • Users know at a glance the last time they changed their password.
  • Users have a history of personal password changes. This is handy if the user changes the password in the vault but not on the target account or if the user needs to work from a backup.
  • A password can be shared by the user with one other user. For example, when a user is not available they can give a coworker access to a password. Access can be revoked or the user that has the password shared can opt out of the share.

With the personal password vault, business user passwords are under the control of the IT and security teams, versus a variety of methods of storing passwords. Benefits of the personal password vault for Security Policy Administrators and User Administrators include:

  • An organization sanctioned and controlled tool is used for users to store personal passwords.
  • Personal passwords are secured and encrypted. They are stored separately from managed account passwords.
  • The personal password vault audits the retrieval and change of passwords so administrators know when users pulled information from the vault.
  • Administrators can recover passwords when someone leaves the company. The administrator must change the authentication provider to local, set the password of the user, and then log in and view the personal password vault.
  • There is no way to recover the personal password vault of a deleted user.

System users (like the bootstrap admin) cannot create personal accounts.

IMPORTANT: The Personal Password Vault permission, like any other permission, can be set explicitly on a user or inherited from a Directory Group. If a user with the Personal Password Vault permission stores one or more personal passwords and then later has the permission revoked, either explicitly or by having been removed from all Directory Groups from which they inherited it, the user will no longer be able to access Personal Password Vault features. But the user’s data within the vault will still be maintained. If at any point the user is granted the Personal Password Vault permission again, they regain access to all of their existing data.

For more information, see Permissions tab (add user).
