Managing entitlements

Use the controls and tabbed pages on the Entitlements page to perform the following tasks to manage Safeguard for Privileged Passwords entitlements:

Adding an entitlement (desktop client)

NOTE: For information on adding an entitlement via the web client, see Adding an entitlement (web client).

It is the responsibility of the Security Policy Administrator to add entitlements to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.

( desktop client) To add an entitlement

  1. Navigate to Administrative Tools | Entitlements.
  2. Click  Add Entitlement from the toolbar.

  3. In the Entitlement dialog, provide the following information on the General tab:

    Table 123: Entitlement: General tab properties
    Property Description
    Name

    Enter a unique name for the entitlement.

    Limit: 50 characters

    Description

    Enter descriptive text about the entitlement.

    Limit: 255 characters

    Priority

    The priority of this entitlement compared to other entitlements.

    If a user desires to access an account in the scope of two different entitlements, then the entitlement with the highest priority (that is, the lowest number) takes precedence. For more information, see How Safeguard for Privileged Passwords evaluates policy when a user submits an access request.

  4. Time restrictions control when the entitlement is in effect relative to the user's time zone.

    An entitlement's time restrictions enforce when Safeguard for Privileged Passwords uses a policy. A policy's time restrictions enforce when a user can access the account passwords. If the entitlement and the policy both have time restrictions, the user can only check out the password for the overlapping time frame.

    Time restrictions control when the entitlement or policy is in effect relative to a user's time zone. Although Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Appliances run on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the user's time zone enforces the time restrictions set in the entitlement or policy. This means that if the appliance and the user are in different time zones, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords enforces the policy in the user's time zone set in their account profile.

    User can change their time zone, by default. Or, the User Administrator can prohibit a user from changing the time zone, possibly to ensure adherence to policy. For more information, see Time Zone.

    Provide the following information on the Time Restrictions tab:

    Table 124: Entitlement: Time Restrictions tab properties
    Property Description
    Use Time Windows

    Select this option to enforce time windows.

    Daily calendar

    Select and drag to highlight the hours you want to allow. Colored tiles are blocked times. Clear are available times.

    Have the Entitlement Expire on Date and Time

    Select this option to enforce an expiration date, then enter the date and time.

    When an entitlement expires, all the access request policies associated with the entitlement also expire. To set an expiration date on a policy, see Creating an access request policy (desktop client).
