PASM - Restrict managed account acces to API

Hi community,

I have an integrated PASM environment deployed in Pathfinder. I have a group of dedicated admin accounts that I want to make available to a specific group of users.

I configured requester permissions for this user group over the dedicated admin account smart group. The access policy is configured for auto-approval.

I want to prevent users from requesting the password directly from the Password Safe user console, so they cannot access the servers without using PRA. To achieve this, I enabled the “API Only Access” option in the access policy, but the users are still able to request the accounts through Password Safe.

I verified that:

  • The users belong to only one user group.
  • The only smart group with configured permissions is the one described above.

Am I missing something, or is there another way to restrict managed account access?

Thank you.

Check what features are enabled for this Group. It should only have the Password Safe Account Management.

Hi,

The only feature enable in the group is the Secret Safe one. I don’t think this is the reason why they have request access to the accounts.

Hi ​@mcapitanich .

There is an access policy that is allowed the user request by password. Could you send me a print of password submit request (like print below)?

 

Thank you.
