Session monitoring
The session monitoring feature enables the monitoring, recording, searching, and viewing of actions performed during administrative sessions using Bravura Privilege credentials.
When configured, session monitoring works in the following way:
A self-service user logs in and requests privileged access via command prompt control or remote desktop control.
The user checks out access, triggering a monitoring session.
Recorded movie, image, or XML data files are stored on the Bravura Security Fabric server.
Users with appropriate permissions can search files and download recorded sessions.
