PAM vaults are one of the key features of Devolutions Server privileged access management module. They are secure vaults that allow admins to manage their different privileged accounts.
The security options of the folder thus created can be further customized if need be. The approvers can also be customized directly on the folder, which gives a list of its administrators.
For more information related to PAM providers, settings, scans and importations, consult our getting started topic.
PAM Devolutions Server creation
In Administration – Privileged Access – PAM vaults, create at least one PAM vault to contain privileged accounts.
Alternatively, PAM vaults can be created by clicking the ellipsis button located next to existing PAM vaults and in the Navigation pane.
PAM vault setup
Once this is done, the setup window for a new PAM vault should appear.
Start by entering a Name for your PAM vault (mandatory) and a Description (optional). Then, set its visibility:
- Private: A private PAM vault is not visible to users that do not have access to it. Thus, vault access requests cannot be performed. You can only access it by invitation.
- Public: A public vault is visible to all users of the data source, even to those who do not have access to it. A user can request access to the public vault.
When clicking Add, the new PAM vault will be created. It can then be found in Administration – Privileged access – PAM Vaults.
