Summary

This tutorial demonstrates the process of adding account groups and accounts to One Identity's PAM Essentials platform.

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.
