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.

Add Directory Group: Add a directory user group to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords. For more information, see Adding a directory user group.

Delete Selected: Remove the selected user group. For more information, see Deleting a user group.

  • Search: You can search by a character string or by a selected attribute with conditions you enter. To search by a selected attribute click Search and select an attribute to search. For more information, see Search box.

    Large tiles at the top of the tab display the number of Users in the selected group and, when applicable, the number of Entitlements to which the selected group is an entitlement member or user. Clicking a tile heading opens the corresponding tab.

    NOTE: The Entitlements tile is only visible to the Auditor and Security Policy Administrator.
