Account access management

As people join, depart, and move through your organization, you need to change their data access. With Data Governance Edition, you can validate that users and groups have been granted access to all the resources they need, ensure that they do not have access to excess resources, and manage their access when problems arise.

The following commands are available to you to manage account access. For full parameter details and examples, click a command hyperlink in the table or see the command help, using the Get-Help command.

Table 183: Account access management commands

Use this command

If you want to

Get-QAccountAccess

View where users and groups have access on a managed host.

For more information, see Get-QAccountAccess.

NOTE: This PowerShell cmdlet does not support Cloud managed hosts.

Get-QAccountAccessOnHosts

View the resource access for a given account (Domain\SAMAccountName) across all available hosts.

For more information, see Get-QAccountAccessOnHosts.

NOTE: This PowerShell cmdlet does not support Cloud managed hosts.

Get-QAccountActivity

View the activity associated with a user on a managed host.

For more information, see Get-QAccountActivity.

NOTE: This PowerShell cmdlet does not support Cloud managed hosts.

Get-QAccountAliases

View the group membership for a specified account. For example, if one of these groups (aliases) has access to a resource, the original account also has this access.

For more information, see Get-QAccountAliases.

Get-QAccountsForHost

View all account access for a specific managed host.

For more information, see Get-QAccountsForHost.

Get-QADAccount

View the Active Directory objects from the One Identity Manager and QAM (Data Governance Edition) tables: ADSAccount, ADSGroup, ADSOtherSID, QAMLocalUser and QAMLocalGroup.

For more information, see Get-QADAccount.

Get-QGroupMembers

View all the members of a group, including members of child groups. Because user and group access may be the result of several layers of nested groups, this helps you to assess how a specific account has gained access to a resource.

For more information, see Get-QGroupMembers.

Get-QIndexedTrustees

View all of the entries from the QAMTrustee table who are also listed within the QAMSecurityIndex table, denoting an indexed trustee.

For more information, see Get-QIndexedTrustees.

Get-QAccountAccess

Returns where users and groups have access on a managed host.

Syntax:

Get-QAcccountAccess [-ManagedHostId] <String> [-TargetType] <QAM.Client.PowerShell.TargetType> [-TargetId] <String> [-ResType] <QAM.Client.PowerShell.QueryResourceType> [[-AccountOrigin] [<String>] [[-Direct] [<SwitchParameter>]] [[-Exclusions] [<String[]>]] [[-DataUnderGovernance] [<SwitchParameter>]] [<CommonParameters>]

Table 184: Parameters
Parameter Description
ManagedHostId

Specify the ID (GUID format) of the managed host whose access you are interested in.

Run the Get-QManagedHosts command to retrieve a list of managed hosts and their IDs.

TargetType

Specify one of the following types for the target object:

  • Account
  • Employee
TargetId Specify the ObjectSid for the account or employee.
ResType

Specify the type of resource to be queried. Valid values are:

  • CloudFiles
  • CloudFolders
  • Files
  • Folders
  • Shares
  • LocalOSRights
  • AdminRights
  • ServiceIdentities
  • SharePointResources
  • SharePointFarmAdminRights
  • SharePointWebAppPolicies
  • SharePointSiteCollectionAdminRights
AccountOrigin

(Optional) Specify the origin of the trustee SID specified in the query. Enter the DNS name of the reference domain or computer for the SID.

If this parameter is not specified, the server will attempt to infer it.

Direct

(Optional) Specify this parameter if you want the query to retrieve only direct access points.

If this parameter is not specified, group membership expansion should be taken into account.

Exclusions

(Optional) Specify a list of trustees that are not to be considered for account access via group membership. This means that if the account being considered is a member of one of the excluded trustees, that access will be ignored.

The list must be an array of strings in the following format: [domain DNS name:]SID. The domain DNS name portion can be excluded, in which case Data Governance Edition will infer what it can. For built-in accounts, a missing DNS name means that all of the instances of the provided SID must be excluded.

DataUnderGovernance

(Optional) Specify this parameter if you want to include only governed resources in your query.

If this parameter is not specified, the query will include all resources.

Examples:
