Catalog Requests Workflow

Server Suite – Privileged Access Request

Delinea Privileged Access Request integrates with ServiceNow to enable IT admins to request access to privileged account credentials and privileged sessions. The requestor can raise requests for temporary and permanent assignments. Once the request is approved, user gets the specified privileged access to the account.

To initiate a request:

Log in to the ServiceNow.
In ServiceNow, go to All > Service Catalog.
Select the Server Suite – Privileged Access Request option from the dropdown to search for the application.

Select the Resource Type. (Database/ Domain/ System)

Select the Resource and the Account from the dropdown list.

In the Choose Privilege field, select the privilege from the dropdown list.(Checkout / Login)

Select the type of access:
- Temporary
- Permanent

By default, only the Temporary type option is available in the dropdown. Users with Permanent Access role (x_delinea.permanent_access_user) can see the Permanent access type in the dropdown.

Enter the reason and submit the request.
Login with the Approver user in ServiceNow.
Navigate to All > PAS for Servers > My approvals.

Open the request and approve it.

Once the request is approved, that user is added in the Permissions section of the specified account in PAS.

Server Suite – Zone Role Workflow

The Zone Role Workflow integration allows users to use ServiceNow to request and approve access to multiple zone roles.
Zones allow you to assign specific permissions to users based on their roles and specific computers. For instance, you can group all the computers in the finance department into a zone called "finance" and then restrict access to only finance employees and senior managers. Each user within this zone can be given specific rights, such as the ability to log on locally, access a database, update specific files, or generate reports.
"Rights" refer to specific actions that users can perform. A "role" consists of a set of rights that can be defined in a parent or child zone and inherited. For example, a role defined in a parent zone can be utilized in a child zone, in a computer role, or at the computer level.
While it is possible to give users access by statically assigning them to a role with specific administrative rights, a more secure method for controlling access is to establish a request and approval workflow. A request and approval workflow gives specific users or members of specific roles the ability to approve or reject access requests. A request and approval workflow improves security by controlling which users can request access, which users can grant access, and how long access is allowed if it is granted.

See Managing Zone Role Assignment Requests for more information about zone role workflow.

If you have Cloud Suite configured, you have the ability to create just-in-time access requests for Systems, Commands, and Roles using the Delinea Privilege Elevation section in the Incident and Change Management forms.

You don't have to be logged into ServiceNow or Cloud Suite, to access these forms. Instead, you can find any user by accessing the Search any user in the Directory Service field from the Directory Services associated with Cloud Suite.
