One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) has the following usergroups by default. Note that you can modify and delete these usergroups as you see fit.

Figure 52: Users & Access Control > Appliance Access — Built-in usergroups of SPS

Caution: If you use LDAP authentication on the SPS web interface and want to use the default usergroups, you have to create these groups in your LDAP database and assign users to them. For details on using usergroups, see Using usergroups.

• basic-view: View the settings in the Basic Settings menu, including the system logs of SPS. Members of this group can also execute commands on the Troubleshooting tab.

• basic-write: Edit the settings in the Basic Settings menu. Members of this group can manage SPS as a host.

• auth-view: View the names and privileges of the SPS administrators, the configured usergroups, and the authentication settings in the Users & Access Control menu. Members of this group can also view the history of configuration changes.

• auth-write: Edit authentication settings and manage users and usergroups.

  Caution: Members of the auth-write group, or any other group with write privileges to the Users & Access Control menu are essentially equivalent to system administrators of SPS, because they can give themselves any privilege. Users with limited rights should never have such privileges. If a user with write privileges to the Users & Access Control menu gives himself new privileges (for example gives himself group membership to a new group), then he has to relogin to the SPS web interface to activate the new privilege.

• search: Browse and download various logs and alerts in the Sessions menu. The members of this group have access to the audit trail files as well. Note that to open encrypted audit trail files, the proper encryption keys are required.

• changelog: View the history of SPS configuration changes in the Users & Access Control > Configuration History menu.

• report: Browse, create and manage reports, and add statistics-based chapters to the reports in the Reports menu. Users with this privilege can access every report. To grant access to users only to specific reports, use the Reports are accessible by the following groups option of the report. For details, see Configuring custom reports.
