It is the responsibility of the Asset Administrator to add assets and accounts to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.
Safeguard for Privileged Passwords allows you to set up Asset Discovery jobs that run automatically. For more information, see Asset Discovery job workflow.
Before you add systems to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords, make sure they are properly configured. For more information, see Preparing systems for management.

To add an asset
- Navigate to Administrative Tools | Assets.
- Click
Add Asset from the toolbar.
- In the Asset dialog, provide information in each of the tabs:
Use the General tab to specify general information about the asset, including the partition and profile to which the asset is assigned. An asset can only be in one partition at a time. When you add an asset to a partition, all accounts associated with that asset are automatically added to that partition. All assets must be governed by a profile. New assets are automatically governed by the default profile unless otherwise specified.
