Quick way to add users to permissions on their respective PAM accounts?
Hello. We have decided to allow our users to "view passwords" on their PAM accounts (of a certain tier). I am going through each of the PAM accounts and adding individual users to the "view password" permission on their respective accounts. Is there a quick way to do this? It's a bit of a long shot I know, as the user for every account is different, but I thought I'd ask as we have hundreds of accounts to modify.
Thanks!

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out!

The best approach will depend on how your PAM vault is currently structured. If the View Password permission is inherited, you may be able to configure it at the parent folder level instead of modifying each account individually.
For example, if your PAM accounts are organized under a common folder, you can grant the View Password permission to the appropriate users or groups on that parent folder. The permission will then be inherited by all entries within that folder, which can significantly reduce the number of manual changes required.
If each account has a different user and permissions are applied directly at the entry level, then unfortunately the changes would need to be made individually.
If you'd like, feel free to share a bit more about how your PAM vault is structured and I can suggest the most efficient approach.

Hello, thank you for your response. Yes each account has a different user, so I believe changes will in fact need to be made individually. I've already made a bit of progress in this regard, so I think I'll just continue down that route.
Thank you again for your help.
