Running an ownership report

Asset Administrators and Auditors can run an ownership report.

To run an ownership report

  1. From the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords desktop Home page, select  Reports.
  2. Open the Ownership tab.
  3. In the first drop-down, choose a type of report: User, Partition, Asset, Account, or Tag.
  4. In the second drop-down, you can select All or you can select Browse to select one or more objects for the report. If you select multiple objects, the selected objects display in the center of the page. Click a selected object to display the object's information at the bottom of the page.

  5. The top of the report displays the following information.

    User:

    • Name: The name of the user.
    • Username: The user name used for authentication.
    • Domain name: The name of the domain of the user.

    • Owned Objects: The number of objects owned by the listed user.

    Partition:

    • Name: The name of the partition.
    • Partition Owners: The number of owners for the partition.

    Asset:

    • Name: The name of the asset.
    • Network Address: The network address for the asset.
    • Asset Owners: The number of owners for the asset.
    • Partition Owners: The number of owners for the partition to which the asset belongs.
    • Partition: The name of the partition to which the asset belongs.

    Account:

    • Name: The name of the account.
    • Asset: Name of the asset associated with the account.
    • Network Address: The network address for the account.
    • Domain Name: If applicable, the domain of the account.
    • Partition: The name of the partition to which the account belongs.
    • Account Owners: The number of owners for the account.
    • Asset Owners: The number of owners for the asset associated with the account.
    • Partition Owners: The number of owners for the partition associated with the account.

    Tag:

    • Name: The name of the tag.
    • Partition: Name of the partition the tag belongs to.
    • Tagged Objects: If applicable, the number of objects that have the tag assigned to them.
    • Assigned Owners: Number of owners assigned to the tag.

  6. Select an item from the top pane to view additional detail in the lower pane.

    For ownership by tags, you can continue to drill down into the details of an item. For example, you can view both the Tagged Objects tab and the Assigned Owners On This Tag tab to see more details on the tag and the owners. From the Tagged Objects tab, you can also select an item from the results to drill down further into the details about the tag.

  7. To filter the results, use the filter control in the column heading. For more information, see Filtering report results.

To export the report

  1. To export, select Export and then select Export as CSV or Export as JSON. Save the file to the location desired. Different information may be returned based on whether you select CSV or JSON.

  2. The time is set according to the user time zone. You can convert timestamps another time, if necessary. Once the report is exported, you can convert time stamps to local time, if necessary. For more information, see Converting time stamps.

To run the report

Click the Run button to generate the report.

Converting time stamps

When you export .csv or .json files, the time stamp will be in the user's time zone. If the time is in UTC/GMT time, you can convert the time to your local time.

.csv opened in Excel

  1. Identify how many hours different your local time is from the UTC or GMT exported by googling "UTC to my time." The value will be within the -12 to 12 range.

  2. In the column to the right of the time stamp, enter one of the following formulas. These examples assume the exported time is in cell J1 and the exported time is -7 hours after the current local time.

    • =J1-TIME(7,0,0)
    • =J1+(-7 / 24)

    Below, the exported time stamp is 17:55:59 GMT (5:55:59 p.m.).

    The formula converts the time to the local time stamp of 10:55:59 p.m.

.json

You can find code to convert JSON UTC time to local time. One possible source:

Administrative Tools

The  Administrative Tools allow you to add all the objects you need to write access request policies, such as users, accounts, and assets. From this view, you can also configure all of the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords settings.

NOTE: You must have administrator permissions to use the  Administrative Tools and the administrator permissions you have determine what you can view and modify.

The navigation pane along the left side of the console gives you access to these administrative tools.

All of the Administrative Tools views have the following components, except for the Toolbox and Settings:

  • Toolbar options across the top of the view.
  • Object list (left pane).
  • Search box at the top of the object list.
  • Details pane (right pane).

Toolbar options

The toolbar at the top of the views (except for the Toolbox and Settings), contain these options, depending on your Administrator permissions and the administrative tool you are using.

These buttons are available:

  • Apply to apply the changes and keep the dialog open
  • OK to apply the changes and close the dialog.
  • Cancel to ignore any changes made, if any, and close the dialog.

Toolbar options include the following.

  • Add: Add objects to the Safeguard for Privileged Passwords appliance.
  • Delete: Remove objects from the appliance.

  • Refresh the screen.

    NOTE: Whenever you add, modify, or delete an object in Administrative Tools, the changes you make cannot be seen by other administrators running Safeguard for Privileged Passwords on other clients unless they click Refresh.

  • Import : Only available for Accounts, Assets, and Users. Add a set of objects from a .csv file. For more information, see Importing objects.
  • User Security: Only available for Users. Menu options include Set Password and Unlock accounts. For more information about these options, refer to Setting a local user's password and Unlocking a user's account.
  • Account Security: Only available for Accounts. Menu options include the following.
  • Permissions: Only available for Users. Set administrator permissions for users. For more information, see Administrator permissions.
  • Set as Default: Only available for Partitions. Set a partition as the default. For more information, see Setting a default partition and Setting a default profile.
  • Download SSH Key: Only available for Assets. Add the SSH key to the selected asset. For more information, see Downloading a public SSH key.
  • Password Archive: Only available for Accounts. Display the password history for the selected account. For more information, see Viewing password archive.
  • SSH Key Archive: Display the SSH key history for the selected account. For more information, see Viewing SSH key archive.
  • Access Requests: Only available for Accounts and Assets. Enable or disable access request services for the selected account or asset.
  • Show Disabled: Display the accounts or assets marked as disabled.
  • Hide Disabled: Hide the accounts or assets marked as disabled.
  • Syncronize Now: Only available for Assets from the Toolbar.

    Run the directory addition (incremental) synchronization process by asset and account. The sync is queued by asset by provider and runs one directory sync on that asset at a time. You can run multiple syncs in parallel on different assets. This is the faster type of directory sync because deletions are not synced. A Tasks window displays the progress and outcome of the task. You can click Details to see more information or click Stop to cancel the task. In addition, this process runs through the discovery, if there are discovery rules and configurations set up.

    The API (Assets/Synchronize) can be used to run the deletion (full) sync which includes all deletions, additions, and changes. This sync takes longer (perhaps hours), especially the first time it is run based on your directory setup.

    The Assets, General tab displays the frequency of sync additions and deletions.
