By default, One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) users are managed locally on SPS. To add local users in SPS, complete all steps of the following procedure:
Create users.
For detailed instructions on how to create local users, see Creating local users in One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS).
Assign users to groups.
For details about how to add a usergroup, see Managing local user groups.
Assign privileges to groups.
For information on how to control the privileges of usergroups, see Managing user rights and usergroups.
This section describes how to create local users.
NOTE: The admin user is available by default, and has all possible privileges. It is not possible to delete this user.
When using RADIUS authentication together with local users, the users are authenticated to the RADIUS server, only their group memberships must be managed locally on One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS). For details, see Authenticating users to a RADIUS server.
