Assets

A Safeguard for Privileged Passwords asset is a computer, server, network device, or application managed by a Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Appliance.

It is the responsibility of the Asset Administrator to add assets and accounts to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.The Auditor has permission to access Assets.

Before adding assets to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords, you must ensure they are properly configured. For more information, see Preparing systems for management.

Each asset can have associated accounts (user, group, and service) identified on the Accounts tab (asset). If an asset is deleted, associated accounts are deleted.

All assets must be governed by a profile identified on the General tab (asset group). All new assets are automatically governed by the default profile unless otherwise specified.

An asset can only be in one partition at a time identified on the General tab (asset group). When you add an asset to a partition, all accounts associated with that asset are automatically added to that partition.

You can identify a default partition and default partition profile so that when you add assets, the assets are added to the default partition and default partition profile. For more information, see Setting a default partition.

Asset Discovery jobs run automatically against the directories you have added. For information about configuring asset discovery in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords, see Asset Discovery job workflow.

Assets view

The Assets view displays the following information about the selected system. Not all selections will be available for all assets.

The Discover SSH Host Key dialog also tells you when the SSH host key is up-to-date. If the SSH host key is not discovered on the asset (either via a discovery or import), certain tasks will not be available for accounts associated with the asset, such as Check System, Check Password, and Change Password.
  • Check Connection: Select to verify that Safeguard for Privileged Passwords can log in to the asset using the current service account credentials. For more information, see Checking an asset's connectivity.
