Users

A user is a person who can log in to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords. You can add both local users and directory users. Directory users are users from an external identity store such as Microsoft Active Directory. For more information, see Users and user groups.

  • Auditor: General, User Groups , Partitions, Entitlements, Linked Accounts, History
