The Checkout policies section found in Administration – Modules – Privileged access – Checkout policies allows administrators to create and edit separate policies for Privileged Access Management (PAM) checkout. Checkout policies can then be applied to specific entries and folders (right-click, then Properties – Common – Checkout policies), or configured to be applied by default to everything.
