2.5.1 Checking Out Credentials

When you check out the credentials, the credentials are valid only for the requested access duration. To access the resource after the access duration expiry, you must check out the credentials again if it is an access granted through Privileged Account Manager policy. If it is an emergency access, you must create a new request. For shared keys, there is no expiry.

To check out the credentials, perform the following:

  1. Select the appropriate resource type such as database, application, cloud services, and so on.

  2. You can check out the credentials by clicking either of the following:

    • Resource Name: Allows you to add notes before checking out the resource credentials.

    • The icon: Allows you to check out the resource credentials without adding notes.

  3. Specify the access duration, email address, and reason for credential check out.

  4. Click Check Out.

  5. The credentials are visible only for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, click Show Credentials to view the credentials.

    You can also copy the password by clicking Copy to Clipboard.

After you check out the credentials, the resources for which the credential is checked out can be viewed from Home > Checked Outs.
