Customize Keyed Values for Administrators

You can use predefined reports and their associated queries to monitor activities by your administrators. You can use the default keyed list only or you can supplement it with your own values. Predefined values include Administrator, root, sa, and admin.

To customize the list, you identify other accounts in your environment that have admin privileges as values in the key-value list for Administrators.

The reports that use the keyed values for Administrator include:

• Administration Resource Activity
• Administration System Access Activity

Additionally, similar reports for CA Access Control use the Administrators keyed list, for example: CA Access Control - Administration Resource Activity by Action.

Queries that use the keyed values for Administrator include:

• (>5) Logins by Admin Accounts on Critical Systems during Night for Last 1 Day
• (>5) Logins by Admin Accounts on Critical Systems during Weekends for Last 1 Week
