One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions 6.0.4 - REST API Reference Guide

Manage usergroups locally on SPS

Contains the local usergroups of SPS. You can use local groups to control the privileges of SPS local and LDAP users — who can view and configure what. You can edit the group memberships here as well.

Topics:

Troubleshooting options

Configures debug logging and the retention time of core dump files.

• Debug logging increases the log level of the non-network-related events, adding the commands executed by the SPS web interface to the log.

• SPS automatically generates core dump files if an important software component of the system crashes. These core dump files can be of great help to the One Identity Support Team to identify problems. To download the generated core dump files, navigate to Basic Settings > Troubleshooting > Core files on the web interface of SPS.
