Managing accounts

Use the controls and tabbed pages on the Accounts page to perform the following tasks to manage Safeguard for Privileged Passwords accounts:

Adding an account

It is the responsibility of the Asset Administrator to add assets and accounts to Safeguard for Privileged Passwords. While an asset can have multiple accounts, you can only associate an account with one asset.

The new account displays on the Accounts list.

Note: Safeguard for Privileged Passwords allows you to set up account discovery jobs that run automatically. For more information, see Account Discovery job workflow.

To add an account

  1. Navigate to Administrative Tools | Accounts.
  2. Click  Add Account from the toolbar.

  3. In the Assets dialog, for Asset Name, select an asset to associate with this account.

  4. In the Account dialog, enter the following information:

    • 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.

    • Profile: Browse to select a partition profile to govern this account.

      By default an account inherits the partition profile of its associated asset, but you can assign it to a different profile for this partition. For more information, see Assigning assets or accounts to a partition profile.

    • 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 he or she is an authorized user.

    • (For directory accounts only) Available for use across all partitions: 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.

To resolve a Twitter requirement for additional verification

Twitter may prompt for additional verification on the next login if suspicious activity is detected (for example, the login originated from a new device or there were too many failed logins from a device). The additional verification may require entry of the email address associated with the Twitter account or entry of a temporary password sent via email. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords detects the Twitter prompt and displays the login requirement in a status message when the password change fails. The Activity Center Event may display Password Change Failed with the following Checking detail: Additional account verification requested:’RetypeEmail’.

To resolve the request for verification so that Twitter trusts the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Appliance:

  1. Open a browser on the same network as the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Appliance.
  2. log in to Twitter as the account.
  3. Enter the additional verification requested.

To checkout the cloud platform account

  1. Add a cloud platform Account Group and add the accounts to the group.
  2. Add an entitlement for the cloud platform accounts.
  3. Add users to the entitlements.
  4. Add a password release policy to the entitlement.
  5. Add the cloud platform Account Group to the scope of the policy.

Manually adding a tag to an account

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.

  3. Open the General tab and scroll down to view the Tags pane.
  4. Click next to the Tags title. Existing tags are displayed.

  6. Click OK. If you do not see the new tag, click the Refresh toolbar button.
