Configure Resource Zones

Create a Resource Zone

You may create as many resource zones as needed for your environment; however, only one resource zone is required. This is the built-in Default zone, which is a catch-all for all domains and workgroups in your network.

To create a new resource zone:

  1. From the left menu in BeyondInsight, click Configuration.
  2. Under Privileged Access Management, click Resource Zones.

Create a New Resource Zone

  1. Click Create a New Resource Zone.

 

Form for Creating a Resource Zone

  1. Enter a Name for identifying the resource zone. This can be up to 64 characters and cannot contain spaces.
  2. Enter a meaningful Description.
  3. Under Domains, select a domain from the list or enter a domain name or an LDAP server name, if it isn't listed.

 

Manually add a Domain when creating a Resouce Zone

A domain or LDAP server is used for anything that Password Safe needs to obtain from a directory, such as authentication, directory queries, directory credentials, binding credentials, etc. Domains and LDAP servers that have already been discovered in Password Safe and are not already associated with a resource zone are listed. You can manually add a domain or LDAP server that has not yet been discovered by typing it in the Search and Add Domains box, and then clicking the Add as New Option button.

 

Password Safe auto-added Workgroup when Creating a New Resource Zone

  1. For Workgroups, do not select or enter any. Instead, allow Password Safe to automatically create a workgroup using the name of the resource zone once the zone is created.

 

Manually add a workgroup when creating a new Resource Zone.

A workgroup is used to segment functionality within Password Safe Cloud to specific managed systems. Existing workgroups that are not already associated with a resource zone are listed. You can manually add a workgroup by typing it in the Search and Add Workgroups box, and then clicking the Add as New Option button.

 

  1. Click Create Resource Zone.

Edit and Delete Resource Zones

You can edit or delete resource zones as follows:

 

Edit or Delete a Resource Zone

Select the resource zone in the grid on the Resource Zones page, click the More Options (ellipsis) button, and then select Edit Resource Zone or Delete Resource Zone.

Editing a resource zone provides the same options as creating a resource zone, as documented in the steps above. You cannot delete a resource zone that has resource brokers associated with it. You must unregister all resource brokers from the zone first.
