A PAM360 user granted web access can customize their user account by accessing the My Profile icon located at the top-right corner of the PAM360 webpage.

By selecting this action from the drop-down list under the My Profile icon, all passwords, account/resource details, sample codes, or any other copied information from the sessions will be removed from the clipboard.

2. Accessibility Controls
(Applicable from build 8200 and above only)

Note: Currently, accessibility control settings in PAM360 are available only for users with the Password User and Connection User roles. Support for other user roles will be introduced in upcoming releases.

The built-in accessibility controls in PAM360 aim to make navigation and interaction simpler, with reducing efforts and enhancing usability. The accessibility controls are particularly beneficial for individuals with visual, auditory, or sensory challenges, helping them experience a smoother and more intuitive workflow within PAM360.

2.1 Benefits of Accessibility Features

  1. Empower users of different abilities by providing multiple modes of interaction with the PAM360 interface.
  2. Enhance the overall user experience by offering customizable accessibility options.
  3. Align with accessibility regulations and standards to meet legal and organizational requirements.

2.2 Configuring the Accessibility Controls

PAM360 provides a comprehensive set of accessibility controls to ensure a smooth and inclusive user experience for individuals with diverse needs. These controls can be customized based on motor, vision, interaction, and mobility requirements. To access the accessibility controls, click on the My Profile icon and select Accessibility Controls. In the slider that expands, enable or configure the required options under the following categories:

  4. Search (Ctrl + /): Opens the search box to perform a global search.

3. Change Password

To modify your local authentication password, click on Change Password. In the ensuing pop-up window, enter all the required information and click Save.

Please note that if your IT administrator has implemented a password policy for your organization, the new password must comply with these guidelines. You can access information about the password policy set by your IT administrator by clicking on the information icon. The Generate Password option can be used to create a password that aligns with your organization's policies.

Always remember your new password, as it will not be sent via email. If you have forgotten your password, use the Forgot password link on the PAM360 login page to initiate the reset process. If this link is unavailable, please contact your administrator.

4. Remote Session Settings
(Applicable from build 7200 and above only)

Modify the keyboard language preference for remote sessions from here. In the dialog box that opens, select the Keyboard Language. This keyboard language will apply to all the RDP remote sessions initiated via the PAM360 interface.

Note: The keyboard language configured will only apply to the remote sessions initiated after configuration.

5. Export Settings
(Applicable from build 7200 and above only)

To protect all the exported files across PAM360, administrators can either set a single password, which will be uniformly used for all export operations or allow the users to set their passwords for the files they export. Click Export Settings to know the global encryption password set by the administrators or to set your password for further exports.

6. User Settings

Note: This setting will only be visible to users who are provided with REST and Application Access in PAM360 from the build following 6700.

Click on the User Settings option; a dialogue box will open and list the REST and Application access of your user account within PAM360. You can disable the REST API/SDK Access and re-enable it when required, and also regenerate the user Authentication Token if you feel suspicious about the existing token.

Note: Upon creating a user account, the user should initially regenerate the authentication token from here for subsequent use of the PAM360 APIs.

7. Personalize

PAM360 allows its users to personalize display settings for their PAM360 account. Users can choose a convenient language from a list of options, enable night mode, and also choose a theme and background color for their account.

    2. The Default Tab dropdown allows you to choose a particular tab to be loaded every time the website is being launched.
    3. Choose a background color from the list of Skins available.
    4. Choose between Light and Dark themes to be applied throughout the interface.
    5. Enable the night mode if required, by selecting Enable Night Mode.
