Requests

The Requests tab displays for users who have been assigned the Requestors role for any managed systems in Password Safe. It lists all requests that you have made. You can filter by approved and pending requests and view the request details by clicking the vertical ellipsis for the request, and selecting View Request Details. You can also check-in a request by clicking on the vertical ellipsis for the request, and selecting Check-in Request.

Request a Password from Password Safe Cloud

Using a configuration that requires requests are approved by a designated approver provides accountability and ensures the security of the system's account passwords by providing dual control over the managed accounts. A dual control configuration, requires the three following steps:

1. Password request: An authorized requester requests a password release.
2. Password approval: An authorized approver reviews and approves the request for release.
3. Password retrieval: The authorized requester retrieves the approved password.

To use a dual control setup, Password Safe users must be assigned the Requestor or Approver role, or both.
