Table 93: Access Request Policy: Emergency tab properties
|
Enable Emergency Access |
Select this check box to allow users to request emergency access to accounts and assets governed by this policy. Clear this option to disallow emergency access.
Emergency Access overrides the Approver requirements; that is, when a user requests access using Emergency Access, the request is immediately approved, provided that the other constraints are met, such as the Requester settings. Multiple users are allowed to request emergency access simultaneously for the same account or asset. |
|
Notify When Account is Released with Emergency access | To |
(Optional) When emergency access is enabled, build an escalation notification contact list, by entering an email address or selecting To to choose an email address of a Safeguard for Privileged Passwords user.
If you used the To button to add Safeguard for Privileged Passwords users, you can use the  Clear icon to remove an individual address from this list or right-click and select Remove All to clear all addresses from the list.
You can enter email addresses for non-Safeguard for Privileged Passwords users.
To send event notifications to a user, you must configure Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to send alerts. For more information, see Configuring alerts.
Important:Safeguard for Privileged Passwords does not dynamically maintain the email addresses for an escalation notification contact list. If you change a Safeguard for Privileged Passwords user's email address or delete a Safeguard for Privileged Passwords user after creating a policy, you must update the email addresses in an escalation notification contact list manually. For more information, see User not notified. |
|
Ignore Time Restrictions |
This check box is selected by default, indicating that Safeguard for Privileged Passwords is to ignore time restrictions when a user requests emergency access. Clear this check box if you want to enforce the time restrictions set for this policy and only allow emergency access during the specified time period. |
When you add users to an entitlement, you are specifying which people can request passwords to the accounts governed by the selected entitlement's access request policies, or which people can request sessions for the accounts and assets governed by the selected entitlement's access request policies. A user can be a Sessions Appliance certificate user. For more information, see Session Appliances with SPS join.
It is the responsibility of the Security Policy Administrator to add users to entitlements. The Security Policy Administrator only has permission to add groups, not users. For more information, see Administrator permissions.

(You must have Authorizer Administrator or User Administrator permissions to create users or Security Policy Administrator permissions to create user groups.)
