  3. Click Delete Selected.
  4. Confirm your request.

Entitlements

A Safeguard for Privileged Passwords entitlement is a set of access request policies that restrict system access to authorized users. Typically you create entitlements for various job functions; that is, you assign permissions to perform certain operations to specific roles such as Help desk, Unix administrator, or Oracle administrator, and so forth. Password release entitlements consist of users, user groups, and access request policies. Session request entitlements consist of users, user groups, assets, asset groups, and access request policies.

The Auditor and the Security Policy Administrator have permission to access Entitlements.

Go to  Administrative Tools and click Entitlements.

Safeguard for Privileged Passwords displays a next to an entitlement name when it expires or when the entitlement contains at least one expired policy. You can configure Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to notify you of an impending entitlement or policy expiration by sending an event notification to a syslog server, in an email message, or a SNMP trap. For more information, see External Integration settings.
