2.0 Accessing Resources

The Home page displays all the resource accesses that are granted to you through Privileged Account Manager policies or by creating a request. You can access the resources in the following ways based on the type of policy configured by the administrator:

  • Launch the session from the user console and Privileged Account Manager does a single sign on to the resource.

  • Check out the credentials from the user console and use them to connect to the resource.

  • Directly access the resource using the server credentials or user console credentials based on the policy defined. These resource accesses are not displayed in the user console as you cannot launch these sessions from the user console. However, you can create an emergency access request for these type of accesses.

In all the above scenarios, if the administrator has enabled secondary authentication, then you must pass secondary authentication.

NOTE:When you are accessing the resource, if a risky or a suspicious activity is detected, your session will be disconnected automatically based on the policy defined by the administrator.

The following sections explain how to access the sessions of various resources:
