How to enable "Automatic Password Change" for local Linux servers?

Hi all,

I’m in the process of onboarding over 100 local Linux servers into BeyondTrust Password Safe, and I’m looking for a more efficient way to handle FA (Functional Account) assignment during setup.

Steps I’ve taken so far:

  1. Added all 100+ servers to an Address Group

  2. Created an asset-based Smart Rule

  3. Set the assets within the Smart Rule to be Managed by Password Safe

However, when I try to enable Automatic Password Change Options, I’m only able to assign one FA (From smart rule). Since each server requires a unique FA, manually creating individual Smart Rules for each server would be highly inefficient.

Question:
Is there a way to automate or bulk assign one FA per server without having to create a separate Smart Rule for each one?

Thanks in advance for your help!
