Adding an account
It is the responsibility of the Asset Administrator to add assets and accounts to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords. While an asset can have multiple accounts, you can only associate an account with one asset.
The new account displays on the Accounts list.
To add an account

In the Assets dialog, for Asset Name, select an asset to associate with this account.
-
In the Account dialog, enter the following information:

- Directory Account: Browse to find the account.
-
Description: (Optional) Enter information about this managed account. Limit: 255 characters.

Profile: Browse to select a partition profile to govern this account.
By default an account inherits the partition profile of its associated asset, but you can assign it to a different profile for this partition. For more information, see Assigning assets or accounts to a profile.

Potentially, you may have assets that are running services as the account, and you can update those assets when the service account changes. If not selected, partition owners and other partitions will not know the account exists. Although archive servers are not bound by partitions, this option must be selected for the directory account for the archive server to be configured with the directory account.
