Retrieve Accounts permissions are able to click on Show and Copy • Users who have List and Use Accounts permissions are able to click on Connect • CyberArk PAM provides advanced workflows on top of these permissions to determine how users can access accounts and for how long
Allow Transparent Connections: Advanced Settings By clicking the Edit settings button, we can see that end users are able to connect transparently using privileged accounts and are allowed by default to view passwords
Platform Settings: Privileged Account Request • The list of options for the drop-down is defined at the Platform level, so we can have a different set of reasons on a platform-by-platform basis. • In the Privileged Account Request section for a given Platform, we can add the Predefined Reasons to create a list of choices for our users when accessing a password in the PVWA.
Dual Control – Safe Membership REQUESTER APPROVER Dual Control is controlled through Safe membership • Requesters are the people who want to use the privileged accounts. They need the permissions Use (and/or Retrieve) and List • Approvers accept or reject requests to privileged accounts, but generally do not use the accounts. They will need List and Authorize permissions
Peer Approval Process WINDOWS TEAM Here we have a single group of admins setup with both requester and approver permissions • In this scenario, anyone could be a requester or an approver, but since the system prevents a person from approving their own requests, it still requires at least two separate actors • One person from this group will become the requester and one will become the approver
groups to bypass Dual Control • Here our admin teams have the "Access Safe without confirmation" permission and are therefore allowed to bypass dual control • The support team still needs to get approval
Multi-Group Approval Process CHANGE WINDOWS TEAM IT MANAGERS ADVISORY BOARD If we setup more than one group with approver permissions, at least one person from each group must approve the request before the requester can use the password
Dual Control: Advanced Settings In the advanced settings for Dual Control, we can enable a multi-level approval process • With a multi-level process, a request must first be approved by one group before it is forwarded for approval to another group • Also in advanced settings, we can enable direct manager Selecting “All” in number of confirmers approval, determined by the could lead to requests being unnecessarily Manager attribute on the delayed if certain users are out of office or requester’s AD user object otherwise unavailable.
Multi Level Approval Process WINDOWS TEAM IT MANAGERS IT DIRECTORS
In this example, a request is sent
first to the IT Managers group • Once approved by at least one person from the Managers group, the request is forwarded to the IT Directors group • At least one person from each group must approve before the password may be used

based on MinValidityPeriod, as configured in the Platform When a user retrieves an account, the account is flagged for change by the CPM after a specified time
MinValidityPeriod – Platform Configuration • A MinValidityPeriod of 60 means that the password will be changed 60 minutes after it is accessed • During that time, other users can access the password • The MinValidityPeriod should provide enough time for a user to make use of the password
