Adding custom fields to the card view

In card view, you can add additional search fields to the Search interface. This allows quick visualization of your preferred fields from the main page of the Search interface for each session.

Adding custom fields to the card view

  1. Click for more details and select Customize Card Fields from the list.

    Figure 266: Sessions — Customize Card Fields

  2. Select fields from Collapsed top and Collapsed bottom and the fields will be added as separate fields to the collapsed view of each session.

    The fields you select from Expanded top and Expanded bottom will be added to the expanded view of each session as shown in the figure below.

    Figure 267: Sessions — Preview

    NOTE: Some fields may not be available for every session. When the field is not available, for example, if you have data recorded by SPP, the field will be empty.

Table view

You can view sessions in a card, table or flow view. Click for more details and select from the list.

Figure 268: Sessions — Table view

Flow view

You can view sessions in a card, table or flow view. Click for more details and select from the list.

Figure 269: Sessions — Flow view

The flow view allows you to:

  • Quickly visualize the distribution of the sessions based on their various metadata, such as, client address, username, protocol, verdict, server address, and One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Analytics (SPA) score.

    The metadata of the sessions are presented as vertical bars and each bar represents the proportional value of the data.

    Example: Proportional data representation

    The Verdict column shows that most of the sessions failed, a large number were accepted, and the rest of the sessions fall into the category of AUTH_FAIL, and TERMINATED.

    Figure 270: Sessions > Flow view — proportional data representation

  • See at a glance the relationship between various metadata and identify patterns in user behavior.

    Example: Relationship between metadata

    You want to have an overview of activities where access was denied.

    A quick look at the Verdict column shows that there were several accesses where the authentication failed (AUTH_FAIL) and the lines from the AUTH_FAIL field point to several server addresses.

    Figure 271: Sessions > Flow view — relationship between metadata

  • Use it interactively to drill down further on information.

    To drill down on information, click on an item, then click Search.

    TIP: To exclude an item, press Ctrl while clicking the item.

    Example: Interactive drill down

    You want to investigate if there were any unusual activities. To take a closer look, in the Analytics Score column, click Unusual, then click Search.

    The flow view now only displays the unusual session activities. You can further narrow your search as required.

Search Permissions

The following describes how to assign users to access sessions only for connections for which they are granted permission.

Users need the Search privilege to access the Search interface.

Assigning the Search privilege to a user on the Users & Access Control > Appliance Access page, automatically enables the Search in all connections privilege, and grants the user access to every session, even if the user is not a member of the groups listed in the Access Control option of the particular connection policy.

Prerequisites

To assign users to access sessions only for connections for which they are granted permission

  1. Navigate to Users & Access Control > Appliance Access.

    Figure 273: Users & Access Control > Appliance Access — Configuring search privileges

  2. Assign the Search privilege to your usergroup as described in Assigning privileges to user groups for the One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) web interface.

  3. Deselect the Search in all connections privilege so that users can access sessions only for connections for which they are granted permission.

  4. To grant permission to a specific connection, navigate to the Connections page of the traffic (for example to Traffic Controls > SSH > Connections), and select the connection policy to modify.

    Figure 274: Traffic Controls > Protocol name > Connections > Access Control — Configuring search privileges

  5. Navigate to Access Control and click .

  6. Enter the name of the usergroup whose members are permitted to access the Search interface into the Authorizer Group field. This group must exist on the Users & Access Control > Local User Groups page.

    Caution:

    Usernames, the names of user lists, and the names of usergroups are case sensitive.

  7. Set the permissions of the usergroup.

    • If the usergroup can authorize (that is, enable) and audit (that is, monitor in real-time and download the audit trails) the sessions, select Permission > Follow&Authorize.

    • If the usergroup can only audit the sessions but cannot authorize, select Permission > Follow.

    NOTE: If the Client user is > Member of field is set, the auditor can only monitor the sessions of the specified usergroup. However, if Client user is > Member of field is set, the Auditor cannot access the Sessions page. To avoid this problem, add another Access Control rule for the Authorizer Group without setting the Client user isfield.

    The admin user of One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) can audit and authorize every connection.

Result

Users with the relevant privileges can now access the sessions for which they are granted permission. If users do not have the required permission to access sessions, a warning message is displayed and no session is visible as shown below:
