Operations Administrator permissions

The Operations Administrator monitors the status of the appliance and can reboot the appliance.

On some pages, it may appear the administrator can edit data, but the change cannot be saved. A message like the following will display: Authorization is required for this request.

NOTE: This user can be a non-interactive user; that is, an automated script or external monitoring system.

Security Policy Administrator permissions

The Security Policy Administrator configures the security policies that govern the access rights to accounts and assets, including the requirements for checking out passwords, such as the maximum duration, if password or SSH key reasons are required, if emergency access is allowed, and so on. This user may not know any details about the assets.

This user configures time restrictions for entitlements and who can request, approve and review access requests.

  • Creates account groups, asset groups, and user groups.
  • Creates entitlements.
  • Configures access request policies.
  • Adds users or user groups to entitlements to authorize those accounts to request passwords.
  • Can assign linked accounts to users for entitlement access policy governance.

On some pages, it may appear the administrator can edit data, but the change cannot be saved. A message like the following will display: Authorization is required for this request.

User Administrator permissions

The User Administrator:

  • Creates (or imports) Safeguard for Privileged Passwords users.
  • Creates user groups.
  • Grants Help Desk Administrator permissions to users.
  • Sets passwords, unlocks users, and enables or disables non-administrator user accounts.
  • Also has Help Desk Administrator permissions.

Considerations: 

  • User Administrators cannot modify administrator passwords, including their own.
  • User Administrators can change the permissions for their own account, which may affect their ability to grant Help Desk Administrator permissions to other users. When you make changes to your own permissions, they take effect next time you log in.
