Closed( desktop client) To add a user
Closed( web client) To add a user

Identity tab (add user)

On the Identity tab, choose an identity provider from the list of available providers. When adding a user from an external identity provider such as Microsoft Active Directory, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords imports read-only contact information from the source, however, you can change the user photo.

Use valid combinations of identity and authentication providers. For more information, see Identity and Authentication.

Table 262: User: Identity tab properties
Property Description
Identity Provider

The source of the user's identity. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords comes with a built-in identity provider called Local that will allow you to manually enter user information that is stored directly in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords. Or you can select an Active Directory or LDAP server that you have previously configured and then browse for a user. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords will periodically synchronize with the directory to keep the information up to date.

Indicate how the user's identity is managed by Safeguard for Privileged Passwords:

  • Local
  • Active Directory
  • LDAP
  • Starling
Browse

(Active Directory, Starling, or LDAP)

If the identity provider is Active Directory, Starling, or LDAP, click the Browse button to choose a username. The remaining fields are auto-populated.

Username

(Local provider)

Enter the user's name that displays in the application. This is not the Login name which is set on the Authentication tab (add user).

First Name

Enter the user's first name.

Limit: 30 characters; no double quotes.

Last Name

(Local provider)

Enter the user's last name.

NOTE: A valid mobile phone number in E.164 format is required for approvers using the Approval Anywhere feature and for two-factor authentication using Starling. However, you can use the Use alternate mobile phone number option on the Authentication tab to specify a valid mobile phone number, instead of adding it here.

E.164 format: +<country code><area code><phone number>

Email

(Local provider)

Enter the user's email address.

Limit: 255 characters

Description

(Local provider)

Enter information about this user.

Limit: 255 characters.

( web client only) Time Zone

Select the user's time zone.

Because Microsoft Active Directory does not have a Time Zone attribute, when you add a directory group, the default time zone is set for all imported accounts to (UTC) Coordinated Universal Time. To reset the time zone, open each imported account in Users and modify the Time Zone on this Location tab.

In the desktop client, this option is configured on the Location tab (add user).
