Setting a default partition
Each Asset Administrator can set a unique default partition and profile so that all new assets that administrator adds are automatically assigned to the default partition and default profile. For more information, see Setting a default profile.
To set the default partition
- Navigate to Asset Management > Partitions.
-
In Partitions, select a partition and click Set as Default from the toolbar.
Setting a default profile
When you create a new partition, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords creates a corresponding default profile with default schedules and rules. Each Asset Administrator can set a unique default partition and profile. Once you set a default profile, all new assets and accounts you add are automatically assigned to that profile.
Safeguard for Privileged Passwords sets the default schedules to "Never" verify or reset passwords or SSH keys.
When you associate an asset to a partition, all the accounts associated with that asset, are also added to the scope of that partition. For more information, see About profiles.
To set another profile as the default
- Navigate to Asset Management > Partitions.
-
In Partitions, select a partition and click View Details.
- Open the Password Profiles or SSH Key Profiles tab.
- Select a profile that is not the current default and click Set as Default from the details toolbar or context menu. (When you select the default profile, the Set as Default icon is grayed out.)
Assigning assets or accounts to a password profile and SSH key profile
You can assign an asset or an account to a password profile, an SSH key profile, or both. The assets and accounts must be in the scope of the partition to be assigned to a profile.
You can also configure Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to run automatic Asset Discovery or Account Discovery jobs. For more information, see Discovery.

CAUTION: Only associate accounts to a profile that you want Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to manage. |
