The Properties tab lists information about the selected account.

To access Properties:

  • web client: Navigate to Asset Management > Accounts > (View Details) > Properties.

Information for the account displays. Not all the information listed below is applicable for every account.

The following options are available on the top of the Properties tab:

  • Discover SSH Keys: Use this option to run the selected SSH Key Discovery job.
  • Enable-Disable: Select one of the following:

    Select Enable to have SPP manage a disabled asset. Account Discovery jobs find all accounts that match the discovery rule's criteria regardless of whether it has been marked Enabled or Disabled in the past.

    Select Disable to prevent SPP from managing the selected asset. When you disable an asset, SPP disables it and removes all associated accounts. If you choose to manage the asset later, SPP re-enables all the associated accounts.

The following fields and options display on the secondary tabs on the Properties tab based on the type of asset (for example, Windows, Linux, LDAP, or Active Directory). Clicking the Edit button on one of the secondary tabs allows you to edit the account.

Table 39: Accounts Properties tab: General properties
Property Description
Name The name of the selected account.

Description

Description of the selected account.

Asset

The display name of the managed system associated with this account. Accounts are only associated with one asset.

Table 40: Accounts Properties tab: Management properties
Property Description
Access Requests Indicates which type(s) of access requests are enabled for this account.

Password Profile

The name of the password profile that governs the accounts assigned to a partition.

When a password profile is inherited from an asset or partition this will be indicated by the text (Inherited) next to the name of the password profile. When the password profile is explicitly set, a button will appear that allows you to clear the explicitly set password profile and instead use the inherited password profile.

SSH Key Profile

The name of the SSH key profile.

When an SSH key profile is inherited from an asset or partition this will be indicated by the text (Inherited) next to the name of the SSH key profile.

When the SSH key profile is explicitly set, a button will appear that allows you to clear the explicitly set SSH key profile. Once the cleared profile change is applied, the assigned inherited profile will be displayed. If there is no default SSH key profile designated for the partition, the asset will no longer have an SSH key profile assigned. If there is no SSH key profile explicitly set on the asset, the accounts on that asset will no longer have an SSH key profile assigned. Designating a default SSH key profile for the partition will ensure all assets and accounts in that partition have an inherited SSH key profile.
