On the web client, use the Accounts tab on the Partitions view to add an account to a partition.

You can manage tasks and services on a domain controller (DC) asset. For more information, see Using a domain controller (DC) asset.

To add an account to an asset

  1. Navigate to Asset Management > Partitions.

  2. Select a partition and click View Details.

  3. Open the Accounts tab.

  4. Click New Account from the details toolbar.

  5. In the Select the asset for the new account dialog, select an asset to associate with this account then click Select Asset.

  6. In the New Account dialog, enter the following information:

    • On the General tab:

      • Name:

        • Local account: Enter the login user name for this account. Limit: 100 characters.
        • Directory Account: Browse to find the account.

      • Description: (Optional) Enter information about this managed account. Limit: 255 characters.

    • On the Management tab:

      • Enable Password Request: This check box is selected by default, indicating that password release requests are enabled for this account. Clear this option to prevent someone from requesting the password for this account. By default, a user can request the password for any account in the scope of the entitlements in which they are an authorized user.

      • Enable Session Request: This check box is selected by default, indicating that session access requests are enabled for this account. Clear this option to prevent someone from requesting session access using this account. By default, a user can make an access request for any account in the scope of the entitlements in which they are an authorized user.

      • Available for use across all partitions (Only available for some types of directory accounts): When selected, any partition can use this account and the password is given to other administrators. For example, this account can be used as a dependent account or a service account for other assets. Potentially, you may have assets that are running services as the account, and you can update those assets when the service account changes. If not selected, partition owners and other partitions will not know the account exists. Although archive servers are not bound by partitions, this option must be selected for the directory account for the archive server to be configured with the directory account.

  7. Click OK.
