Manually adding a tag to an account

Asset Administrators can manually add and remove static tags to an account. You cannot manually remove dynamically assigned tags which are defined by rules and indicated by a lightening bolt icon. You must modify the rule associated with the dynamic tag if you want to remove it. For more information, see Modifying an asset or asset account tag..

Deleting an account

When you delete an account, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords does not delete it from its associated asset; it simply removes it from Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.

If you delete a service account, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords changes the asset's authentication type to None, which disables automatic password and SSH key management for all accounts that are associated with this asset. All assets must have a service account in order to check and change the passwords or SSH keys for the accounts associated with it. For more information, see About service accounts..

To delete an account

  1. Navigate to Asset Management > Accounts.

  2. Select the account to be deleted.

  3. Click Delete.

  4. Confirm your request.

Adding users or user groups to an account

When you add users to an account, you are specifying the users or user groups that have ownership of an account.

It is the responsibility of the Asset Administrator (or delegated partition owner) to add users and user groups to accounts. The Security Policy Administrator only has permission to add groups, not users. For more information, see Administrator permissions..

To add users to an account

  1. Navigate to Asset Management > Accounts.

  2. In Accounts, select an account from the object list and click View Details.

  3. Open the Owners tab.

  4. Click Add on the Account Owners, Asset Owners, and/or Partition Owners tabs.

  5. Select one or more users or user groups from the list in the Users/User Groups dialog.

  6. Click Select Owners to save your selection.
