Home page

Click Home to go to the home page. The Home page can be tailored to your role by allowing you to show or hide many of the tiles that can be displayed. For example, the page displays tiles for My Requests, Approvals, and Reviews, where each tile contains the number of tasks and their status, such as Available, Denied, Revoked, or Pending, and also the number of tasks Due Today.

For some administrator users, additional tiles for Appliance Resources, Cluster Status, Access Request Activity, Account Automation, and Running Tasks can also be displayed.

All users can choose to read the Message of the Day that the Appliance Administrator sets. For more information, see Message of the Day.

To set the displayed tiles on your home page, click Settings. The opening side sheet allows you to toggle the display of any of the tiles available to your role.

For Requesters

All users of Safeguard for Privileged Passwords have the right to submit an access request, if they have been assigned to an entitlement. A requester user can hide all tiles on the home page except for the My Requests and Most Recently Used Favorites. To submit an access request, see the following for more information:

After an access request has been submitted, the user can click the My Requests tile to view the requests awaiting action. For more information, see:

The Most Recently Used Favorites tile shows a list of up to 5 of your most recently used favorite requests.

For Approvers

An approver can be added to an access request policy to approve or deny an access request made by another user. An approver can hide all tiles on the home page except for the Approvals, unless the user is also responsible for other roles. For more information on approving access requests, see:

For Reviewers

A reviewer can be added to an access request policy to review completed access requests. A reviewer can hide all tiles on the home page except for the Reviews, unless the user is also responsible for other roles. For more information on reviewing access requests, see:

My Requests

If you are a requester, click My Requests to make a request or see information about requests.

If Show Account Availability is enabled, you can identify if a privileged account is available or not. Accounts display a warning badge if in use by a request. An account's status is updated immediately after being changed in order to avoid overlapping account requests from multiple users.

Hover over the badge to display <X> of <X> accounts in use. Showing account availability requires additional API queries that may impact performance. This toggle is set by the user, not an administrator. There is no global toggle.

NOTE: When the policy that is governing the request has enabled Allow simultaneous access for multiple user access, the request may still be available even though Show Account Request Availability indicates it is in use.

The My Request page has additional settings that can be used to configure the displayed information. Clicking the button will open a panel with the following options:

  • My Request Favorites: Select this option to display a widget showing configured favorite requests.

  • Show Account Request Availability (may impact performance): Select this option to show the account request availability. Depending on the number of requests this may impact performance.
