Deleting an account

When you delete an account, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords does not delete it from its associated asset; it simply removes it from Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.

If you delete a service account, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords changes the asset's authentication type to None, which disables automatic password management for all accounts that are associated with this asset. All assets must have a service account in order to check and change the passwords for the accounts associated with it. For more information, see About service accounts.

To delete an account

  1. Navigate to Administrative Tools | Accounts.
  2. In Accounts, select an account from the object list
  3. Click Delete Selected.
  4. Confirm your request.

Importing objects

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. 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.

    Note: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:
      1. 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, such as Other Linux.
      2. If it does not find a partial match, it supplies the Other platform type.
    • Users TimeZoneId property:
      1. 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.

        Note: Do not enter numbers or abbreviations for the TimeZoneId.

    • Users Password property:
      1. 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.

Creating an import file

When importing objects, such as accounts, assets, or users, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords expects the import file to be a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file.

A CSV file is a text file used to store database entries where each line is a unique record and each record consists of fields of data separated by commas. You must not add any trailing spaces in the properties you define in the CSV file. The easiest way to create a CSV file is by using a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel; however, you can use any text editor, such as Notepad, to create a comma-delineated file, as long as you save the file with a .csv file type extension.

The order of the columns is not important, but the title of the column must match the property name.

To create a customized .csv file template

  1. In the Import dialog, click CSV Template Assistant.

  2. Select specific template properties from the template properties table, or select the select all check box in the heading. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords preselects the required properties; you can select any additional properties you desire.

  3. Select Download Template to save a copy of the template properties table to a location of your choice.

    • Click the View icon in the Values column to display a list of allowable values. Click Copy to copy the selected value to your copy buffer which can then be pasted into your CSV file.
    • Click Export Full Table, in upper the right corner above the properties table, to save a copy of the properties table.

  4. Locate the downloaded template and add your specific information to the template.

    • Users AdminRoles property: The value for the Authorizer Administrator is "GlobalAdmin".
    • Safeguard for Privileged Passwords does not add an object if any column contains invalid data in the .csv file with the follow exceptions:
