Viewing warnings and alerts for check-outs

A warning icon 2377.png or alert icon 26656.png is displayed when the time remaining and the check-out age reaches a certain threshold.

Configuration notes

Product administrators can configure the interface as follows:

Permissions

Users must belong to a user group that has permission to access accounts or groups that belong to a managed system policy.

Checkout age and time remaining thresholds

The default thresholds are defined by the following system variables, which can be set in Manage the system > Modules > Privileged access:

  • PSW CHECKIN CHECKOUT AGE ALERT THRESHOLD

  • PSW CHECKIN CHECKOUT AGE WARNING THRESHOLD

  • PSW CHECKIN TIME REMAINING ALERT THRESHOLD

  • PSW CHECKIN TIME REMAINING WARNING THRESHOLD

Recent requests

You can configure the number of days that an account, account set or group set is considered recent by setting the PSW RECENT ACCESS option for the Privileged access app.

Password override

Users who have been granted the "Randomize/override password of managed accounts" permission to the vault-only managed system policy of the checked out password have the option to override the stored vault-only password.
