NOTE:
The admin user is available by default and has all possible privileges. It is not possible to delete this user. Local users cannot be managed when LDAP authentication is used (see Managing One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) users from an LDAP database). When LDAP authentication is enabled, the accounts of local users is disabled, they are not displayed on the AAA > Local Users page, but they are not deleted, either. When using RADIUS authentication together with local users, the users are authenticated to the RADIUS server, only their group memberships must be managed locally on One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS). For details, see Authenticating users to a RADIUS server. |
To create a local user
Navigate to AAA > Local Users and click .

Enter a password for the user into the Password and Verify password fields.
The strength of the password is indicated below the Password field as you type. To set a policy for password strength, see Setting password policies for local users. The user can change the password later from the SPS web interface, and you can modify the password of the user here.

For details, see "Setting password policies for local users" in the Administration Guide.
