PAM settings (retention and per-connection approval)
PAM settings apply to the whole organization. They are under «PAM» › «PAM settings».
Which settings are there?
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| «Recording retention (days)» | 30 to 3650. After the period, recordings without a legal hold are purged |
| «Auditor scope tags» | Up to 16 target tags that delimit the auditors' scope. In this version they are only recorded |
| «Ask for approval before each connection by default» | New profiles start with this option |
Choose «Save settings». «Settings saved.» appears.
With dual control on
Changing the settings waits for a second administrator: the change is sent for approval and a second administrator must approve it under PAM › Dual control. See Dual control.
Approval before each connection
The option exists in the console, but connect-time approvals are not served yet: a profile with «Ask for approval before each connection» refuses sessions. Keep it off until it is available.
How long should I keep recordings?
The period is your organization's decision (the data controller). Consider your sector's legal and audit obligations and use legal hold for specific cases. See Retention and legal hold.
