Adding vault-only managed systems

In vault-only mode, Bravura Privilege simply stores information about a managed system. In this case, there is no communication between the Bravura Privilege server and the managed system; all information is inputted and maintained by product administrators. Bravura Privilege does not automatically randomize passwords for these managed systems. Vault-only managed system can only belong to vault-only type managed system policies .

You can apply access controls to allow certain users to change a stored password after they have it checked out. To do this, grant users in a user group the Randomize/Override permission to the vault-only managed system policy. See Assigning access controls to learn how to apply system policy access controls.

Product administrators require the "Create managed systems" administrative privilege in order to add a vault-only managed system.

To add a vault-only managed system:

  1. Click Manage the system > Privileged access > Managed systems.

  2. Click Add new…

  3. Type an ID and Description that will be displayed to users.

  4. Optional: Type a Help URL.

    In case a longer description would help users, you can compose and post an HTML page that describes this system further, and type its URL here. Users can open the URL by clicking the managed system description text wherever the text appears as a link in the Request privileged access (PSW) module.

  5. Click Add.
