One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords 7.1 - Administration Guide

Enter or select the default duration (days, hours, and minutes) that the requester can access the accounts and assets governed by this policy. The access duration cannot exceed a total of 31 days (44,640 minutes).

If you select the Allow Requester to Change Duration option, you can set the maximum duration (days, hours, and minutes) that the requester can access the accounts and assets governed by this policy.

The default access duration is seven days. The maximum access duration is 31 days.

The users can change the access duration, but they cannot access the accounts or assets governed by this policy for longer than the maximum access duration time.

Select this option 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.

Select this option to ignore time restrictions when a user requests emergency access. Clear this option if you want to enforce the time restrictions set for this policy and only allow emergency access during the specified time period.

(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.

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.

Select this check box to require that a requester provide a Comment when making an access request.

Click Add to add one or more reasons to the selected access request policy. Then, when requesting access to a password, SSH key, or a session, a user can select a predefined reason from a list. Click OK to add a reason.

(Optional) When no approvals are required, enter an email address or select To to choose a user to notify when access is auto-approved.

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.

Select this option to require approval for all access requests for accounts and assets governed by this policy. Enter the following information:

• Qty: Enter or select the minimum number of approvals required from the selected users or user groups listed as Approvers.

• Approvers: Browse to select one or more users or user groups who can approve access requests for accounts and assets governed by this policy.

  Click  Add an Approval Group or  Delete to add or remove approver sets.

  The order of the approver sets is not significant, but all requirements must be met; that is, a request must obtain the number of approvals from each approver set defined.

  The users you authorize as approvers receive alerts when an access request requires their approval if they have Safeguard for Privileged Passwords configured to send alerts.

  TIP: As a best practice, add user groups as approvers rather than individuals. This makes it possible to add an individual approver to a pending access request. In addition, you can modify an approvers list without editing the policy.

(Optional) Select this check box to enable notifications.

• Set the amount of time (days, hours, and minutes) to wait before notifying the escalation notification contact list about pending approvals.

• Enter an email address or select To to choose an email address of a Safeguard for Privileged Passwords user. You can enter email addresses for non-Safeguard for Privileged Passwords users.

This check box is selected by default, indicating that no review is required for completed access requests for accounts and assets governed by this policy.

Select this check box to require a review of completed access requests for accounts and assets governed by this policy.

• Qty: Enter or select the minimum number of people required to review a completed access request.

• Browse to select one or more users or groups of users who can review access requests for accounts and assets governed by this policy.

A reviewer can only review an access request once it is completed.

The users you authorize as reviewers receive alerts when an access request requires their review if they have Safeguard for Privileged Passwords configured to send alerts.

Select this check box when you want to allow new access requests whether a prior request is approved or not approved. In other words, no requests will be blocked based on the approval status of a prior request.
