Administrator permissions

To secure control of your IT department's assets (that is, managed systems), Safeguard for Privileged Passwords uses a role-based access control hierarchy. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords's various permission sets restrict the amount of control each type of user has.

Note: It is the responsibility of a user with Authorizer Administrator permissions to grant administrator permissions to other Safeguard for Privileged Passwords users; however, the User Administrator can grant Help Desk Administrator permissions to non-administrative users.

Administrator permissions include:

Appliance Administrator permissions

The Appliance Administrator is responsible for configuring and maintaining the appliance, including the following tasks:

  • Racks and stacks the appliance.
  • Configures the appliance.
  • (Optional) Sets up and uses the virtual appliance for initial setup, maintenance, backup, and recovery. For more information, see Using the virtual appliance and web management console.
  • Troubleshoots performance, hardware, and networking.
  • Creates and monitors the status of a clustered environment.
  • Manages licenses, certificates, backups, and sessions settings.

  • Manages account password rules.

NOTE: Asset Administrators can only view the user object history for their own account.
