File release request workflow

One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords provides secure control of managed accounts by storing account files until they are needed, and releases them only to authorized persons.

Typically, a file release request follows this workflow.

  1. Request: Users that are designated as an authorized user of an entitlement can request files for any account in the scope of that entitlement's policies.

  2. Approve: Depending on how the Security Policy Administrator configured the policy, a file release request will either require approval by one or more SPP users, or be auto-approved. This process ensures the security of account files, provides accountability, and provides dual control over the system accounts.

  3. Review: The Security Policy Administrator can optionally configure an access request policy to require a review of completed file release requests for accounts in the scope of the policy.

Requesting a file release

If you are designated as an authorized user of an entitlement, you can request a file for any account in the scope of the entitlement's policies.

To request a file release

  1. Click Home then New Request or open My Requests then click New Request.

    NOTE: You can also submit an access request from your Favorites pane, if you previously saved it as a favorite.

  1. On the New Access Request page, select the accounts to be included in the access request and the type of access being requested for each selected account. You can search for accounts based on asset information. The assets available for selection are based on the scope defined in the entitlement's access request policies.

  2. NOTE: Use the button to select the columns to display.

    • Asset: The display name of the managed system.

    • Account: The available account appears in the Account column. When an asset has multiple accounts available, either Select Account(s) or the account name appears as a hyperlink in the Account column. Click the hyperlink in the Account column to display a list of accounts available and select the accounts to be included in the access request.

    • Access Type: The type of access request appears in the Access Type column. If the type is a drop-down, you can click the drop-down then multiple access request types are available. Click the drop-down and select the access type, in this case, File.

    • Account Description: (When applicable) The description of the account.

    • Asset Description: (When applicable) The description of the asset.

    You can remove an asset or account from the list by clearing the check box associated with an entry in the grid.

      2. Later: If selected, fields will appear allowing you to enter a specific date and time for the request in the user's local time.

    2. How Long: Based on the policy, do one of the following:

      • View the Checkout Duration.

      • If the Allow Requester to Change Duration option is enabled in the policy, you can set the days, hours, and minutes that you want to use the password. This overrides the Checkout Duration set in the access request policy. For more information, see Creating an access request policy.

    3. Comment: If required, enter information about this request. When multiple accounts are specified in the request, if any of the selected accounts require a comment, you must enter a comment. The comment will be applied to all of the requests associated with this access request. The limit is 1000 characters.

  5. To save the access request as a favorite, select the Save this request as a favorite check box and enter a name for the request.

    This access request is then added to your Favorites. In the web client, favorites are displayed on the Home page and the My Requests page.

  6. After entering the required information, click Submit Request.

    Additional information displays if the access requests submitted were unsuccessful with information on how to address the issues. Once they have been addressed, you can resubmit the request.

When the request has been approved, you can use the file. For more information, see Taking action on a file release request.
