Caution:
Assigning the Search privilege to a user on the Users & Access Control page automatically enables the Search in all connections privilege, and grants the user access to every audit trail, even if the user is not a member of the groups listed in the Access Control option of the particular connection policy. |
-
Select the type of access (read or read & write) from the Type field.
-
Click 
.
The admin user is available by default and has all privileges. It is not possible to delete this user.
Finding specific usergroups
The Filter ACLs section of the Users & Access Control > Appliance Access page provides you with a simple searching and filtering interface to search the names and privileges of usergroups.

-
To filter on a specific usergroup, enter the name of the group into the Group field and select Search.
-
To select usergroups who have a specific privilege, click Edit, select the privilege or privileges you are looking for, and click Search.
-
To filter for read or write access, use the Type option.
Using usergroups
How you should name usergroups depends on the way you manage your One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) users.
-
Local users: If you use only local users, create or modify usergroups on the Users & Access Control > Local User Groups page, assign or modify privileges on the Users & Access Control > Appliance Access page, and add users to the groups on the Users & Access Control > Local Users or the Users & Access Control > Local User Groups page.
-
LDAP users and LDAP groups: If you manage your users from LDAP, and also have LDAP groups that match the way you want to group your SPS users, create or modify your usergroups on the Users & Access Control > Appliance Access page and ensure that the name of your LDAP group and the SPS usergroup is the same. For example, to make members of the admins LDAP group be able to use SPS, create a usergroup called admins on the Users & Access Control > Appliance Access page and edit the privileges of the group as needed.
-
RADIUS users and local groups: This is the case when you manage users from RADIUS, but you cannot or do not want to create groups in LDAP. Create your local groups on the Users & Access Control > Appliance Access page, and add your RADIUS users to these groups on the Users & Access Control > Local User Groups page.

Caution:
If you use LDAP authentication on the SPS web interface and want to use the default usergroups, you have to create these groups in your LDAP database and assign users to them. For details on using usergroups, see Using usergroups. |

Caution:
Members of the auth-write group, or any other group with write privileges to the Users & Access Control menu are essentially equivalent to system administrators of SPS, because they can give themselves any privilege. Users with limited rights should never have such privileges.
If a user with write privileges to the Users & Access Control menu gives himself new privileges (for example gives himself group membership to a new group), then he has to relogin to the SPS web interface to activate the new privilege. |
