Managing account groups
Adding an account group
It is the responsibility of the Security Policy Administrator to add account groups to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.
(- Navigate to Administrative Tools | Account Groups.
- Click
Add | Account Group from the toolbar.
-
In theAccount Group dialog, enter the following information:
-
Name: Enter a unique name for the account group.
Limit: 50 characters
-
Description: (Optional) Enter information about this account group.
Limit: 255 characters
-
- Click Add Account Group.
- Navigate to Security Policy Management | Account Groups.
- Click
-
In the New Account Group dialog, enter the following information:
-
Name: Enter a unique name for the account group.
Limit: 50 characters

Description: (Optional) Enter information about this account group.
Limit: 255 characters
-
- Click OK.
Adding a dynamic account group
It is the responsibility of the Security Policy Administrator to add dynamic account groups to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.
Dynamic account groups are associated with rules engines that run when pertinent objects are created or changed. For example:
- Whenever you add or change an asset account, all applicable rules are reevaluated against that asset account.
- Whenever you change an asset account rule, the rule is reevaluated against all asset accounts within the scope of that rule. In other words, the rule is reevaluated against all asset accounts for grouping and the asset accounts within the designated partitions for tagging.
You can create a dynamic account group without any rules; however, no accounts will be added to this dynamic account group until you have added a rule.
In large environments, there is a possibility that the user interface may return before all of the rules have been reevaluated and you may not see the results you were expecting. If this happens, wait a few minutes and Refresh the screen to view the results.

- Navigate to Administrative Tools | Account Groups.
