Unlocking a user's account
If you are unable to log in, your account may have become "locked" and is therefore disabled. For example, if you enter a wrong password for the maximum number of times specified by the account Lockout Threshold settings, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords locks your account. For more information, see Login Control.
Typically, it is the responsibility of the Authorizer Administrator to unlock administrator accounts, and the User Administrator and Help Desk Administrator to unlock non-administrator local users.
To unlock a user's account
There are two ways to unlock a user account:
- In Users, select a "locked" user, right-click, and select
Unlock from the context menu.
- Click
User Security and select Unlock.
User Groups
Safeguard for Privileged Passwords allows you to add both local user groups (a set of local users) and directory groups (a set of directory accounts) to User Groups. The Security Policy Administrator can add a group of users to an entitlement to authorize them to request access to the accounts and assets governed by the entitlement's access request policies.
User Groups is available to the Authorizer Administrator, User Administrator, Security Policy Administrator, and the Auditor. However, it is only available to the Authorizer Administrator and User Administrator if a directory has been added to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.
The User Groups view displays the following information about the selected user or directory group.
Use these toolbar buttons to manage users.
Add User Groups: Add user groups to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords. For more information, see Adding a user group.
