I am trying to search accounts in Password Safe.  I am looking for accounts that are just admin but I have accounts that are netadmin as well that are showing.  Is there a way to do an exact match when searching in Password Safe?  I tried ‘admin’ and “admin” with no luck.

Hi @Olaf Ohman I do not think there is a way to do an exact match in Managed Accounts.  If this feature is desired, create and upvote feature requests in the Ideas Portal.  Navigate to the  Aha! Ideas Portal homepage using the appropriate credentials to sign in. Once logged in, access the Ideas tile and create a request to submit for Product Management to review. Use this site to monitor and add to an idea thread, receive email notifications, and request updates.  The more votes on the Idea the more visibility it will have.


Hi Olaf. I am unsure of where we are doing the search.

If we as Admins of PWS Cloud are dealing with Managed Account, I would consider doing a Smart Group, that makes it easy. Select your Smart Group and only those accounts are visible.

If you speak from the user experience side, the only option is really just to sort your columns.
Add your account filter and Sort on the column Account

 


Just to tag onto what @Jens Hansen was indicating, this is where having naming standards will also help you. Most of the companies I have worked with or talked with about Password safe move away from using the work “admin” as you tend to get some false positives. Like Jens’ screenshot shows -adm is being used, this will help you to be able to search just adm. I’ve seen some companies use words like elevated, privileged, bt, pws, ect. just to get away from the generalized admin reference.

These references will also help you if you are using a generalized directory query to fine tune your smart rules for smart group associations for faster reference. It will also give your end users a little more granular control over account references on their side, pending on how granular you go with account access.

I previously met with a company that had 1 privileged account per application, so some users who were on the Identity team and needed to do work in AD, Exchange, HR, Finance applications, ect typically had no less than 15 accounts associated to them, all with their own password requirements and jump box’s.
