Editing the synchronization project for a PAM appliance

Synchronization projects in which an appliance is already used as a base object can also be opened in the Manager. You can, for example, check the configuration or view the synchronization log in this mode. The Synchronization Editor is not started with its full functionality. You cannot run certain functions, such as, running synchronization or simulation, starting the target system browser and others.

NOTE: The Manager is locked for editing throughout. To edit objects in the Manager, close the Synchronization Editor.

To open an existing synchronization project in the Synchronization Editor:

In the Manager, select the Privileged Account Management > Appliances category.
Select the appliance in the result list.
Select the Change main data task.
Select the Edit synchronization project task.

To obtain an overview of an appliance

In the Manager, select the Privileged Account Management > Appliances category.
Select the appliance in the result list.
Select the PAM appliance overview task.

PAM user accounts

You can use One Identity Manager to manage Privileged Account Management user accounts. A user account enables an employee to log onto the Privileged Account Management system, for example, onto One Identity Safeguard. One Identity Manager manages the local users of a Privileged Account Management system and directory users. Directory users are user accounts from an external target system, for example Active Directory or LDAP.

Through their user group, the user receives the required entitlements, for example, for requesting a password for an asset account or a session for the accounts and assets in the Privileged Account Management system.

A user account can be linked to an employee in One Identity Manager. You can also manage user accounts separately from employees.

NOTE: It is recommended to use account definitions to set up user accounts for company employees. In this case, some of the main data described in the following is mapped through templates from employee main data.

NOTE: If employees are to obtain their user accounts through account definitions, the employees must own a central user account and obtain their IT operating data through assignment to a primary department, a primary location, or a primary cost center.
