TL;DR

Account groups in PAM Essentials organize privileged accounts hierarchically, similar to how asset groups organize infrastructure assets
Adding accounts requires selecting the account type (local or domain), specifying the parent asset, and entering the username through the Configuration > Accounts interface
The workflow follows a logical progression: create account group, add accounts to group, configure account details, and associate with the appropriate asset

Summary

This tutorial demonstrates the process of adding account groups and accounts to One Identity's PAM Essentials platform. The video walks through the configuration workflow, starting with navigating to the Accounts section and creating a new account group with a name and optional description. It then covers adding accounts to the group, including selecting the account type (local or domain), choosing the parent asset, and entering the username. The demonstration uses a local account example, showing how accounts are organized hierarchically under assets, similar to how assets are grouped under organizations. This foundational setup is essential for managing privileged access across your infrastructure within PAM Essentials.
