2.3 The Workspace Layout

The Framework Manager console consists of two areas: a navigation bar and a navigation pane.

2.3.1 Navigation Bar

The navigation bar on the top of the page has four options: Home, Consoles, admin, and Help.

Click an item on the navigation path for quick access to a given navigation pane. For example, to return to the home page, click Home.

2.3.2 Navigation Pane

In the navigation pane, you have access to the following administrative consoles:

  • Hosts: Centrally manages Privileged Account Manager installation and updates, load-balancing, redundancy of resources, and host alerts. For more information, see Section 4.0, Managing Framework Hosts.

  • Framework User Manager: Manages users who log in to the Framework Manager through role-based grouping. For more information, see Section 6.0, Managing Framework Users and Groups.

  • Package Manager: Allows you to easily update any Privileged Account Manager hosts. For more information, see Publishing Packages on the Package Manager.

  • Command Control: Uses an intuitive graphical interface to create and manage security policies for privilege management. For more information, see Command Control.

  • Reporting: Provides easy access and search capability for event logs and allows you review and color-code user keystroke activity through the Command Risk Analysis Engine. For more information, see Section 7.0, Managing Audit Reports.

  • Compliance Auditor: Proactive auditing tool that pulls events from the Audit database for analysis, according to predefined rules. It can be configured to pull filtered audit events at hourly, daily, weekly or monthly intervals. This enables auditors to view prefiltered security transactions, play back recordings of user activity, and record notes for compliance purposes. In an era of increasing regulatory compliance, the ability to supply demonstrable audit compliance at any time provides a more secure system and reduces audit risk. For more information, see Section 9.0, Compliance Auditor.

  • Access Dashboard: Allows you to manage the requests for emergency access, and view the details of credential checkout. If required you can check in the checked out password. For more information, see Section 22.0, Managing Emergency Access Requests.

  • Credential Vault formerly known as Enterprise Credential Vault: Allows you to manage the domains and its credentials. For information about Credential Vault, see Contextual Help.
