Thank you for your feedback
Credential escrow in Privileged Access Management (PAM) systems refers to the practice of keeping the credentials used to authenticate access to privileged resources securely and encrypted. This practice helps protect critical information from unauthorized access, ensuring that only authorized people can access the credentials needed to perform important tasks on the system.
My custody on the senhasegura platform
Info
On senhasegura, the credential custody process is analogous to the account check-in procedure, while the custody release is analogous to the account check-out procedure.
Access the credential custody area of the senhasegura platform from the Grid Menu, identified by the nine squares in the top left corner, and then select Pam Core. On the Credentials side menu, select the My Custody option.
The credentials the user in question has custody of will be listed on the main page.
Info
To obtain custody of a credential, the user simply needs to view the password via the password list on the senhasegura platform. This custody will be used to release access and allow other users to access that credential.
Password custody is organized according to the device to which the credential is linked (For example: AWS, 100.66.120.101, among others). To find out more about devices in the context of senhasegura, go to the documentation about Devices. To find out more about credentials, go to the Credentials documentation.
