Configuring Privileged Access Management (PAM)
For a more sophisticated management of critical data and infrastructure, AppViewX allows for Privileged Access Management (PAM). PAM solutions help manage and control the access of privileged accounts (e.g., system administrators, root accounts, service accounts) to critical systems and sensitive data, thus ensuring security and compliance.
To configure PAM settings:
| New Menu | Old Menu |
|---|---|
| In the Platform module, from the navigation pane on the
left, under VAULT & SECURITY, select PAM. The PAM page is displayed with a list of devices/objects/applications. |
From the main navigation menu, select Inventory >
Device. The Device :: ADC page is displayed with the ADC tab open by default. |
| For more information on how to switch between menus, click here. | |
- From the command bar in the top right corner of the page, click
(Add Credentials) icon. - From the left pane, select the vendor for whom you want to configure PAM.
Credential details fields are displayed for the selected vendor.
- Enter the Credential details for the vendor.
- Click Save.
Note: Administrators can create and manage ACLs for each PAM entry and
assign the resources to necessary user groups. It allows for the creation of custom user
resources with tailored permissions for PAM entries. Existing resources can be modified
to include or exclude access to specific PAM entries. Permissions can be added from
Menu > Platform > IDENTITY > Resource.
