Manage access view

The Manage access view appears when Manage access is selected from the tasks view. From this view, you can see the access for the selected account on all managed hosts within your environment and detailed group membership information. This view consists of the following panes:

  • Access Points: The main pane is the results of a database query that retrieves the hosts a trustee has access to.

    Note: By default, the Filter builtin accounts (Administrators and Users) check box is selected indicating that noisy accounts (that is, accounts with indirect access granted through the BUILTIN\Administrators or BUILTIN\Users accounts) are not included in the view. To include these accounts in the Access Points pane, clear the check box at the top of the view.

  • Detailed Access Information: The lower pane is the result of an agent query that retrieves more information about the resource selected in the Access Points pane.
  • Group Memberships: The left pane displays the group membership information resolved from Active Directory from the Data Governance server.

By default, the results in the Access Points pane are grouped by the host name of managed host. Expand a managed host and select an account in the Access Points pane to display all the resources where the selected user or group has access. Click the Group Memberships tab to view how the account has gained access through group membership. Selecting an account in the Group Memberships pane retrieves and displays the hosts where the selected trustee has access.

Note: This view is not available for NFS managed hosts.
