Lacework Admin Role Accounts Attribute

This section contains details about defining the Lacework Admin Role Accounts attribute.

Lacework Admin Role Accounts adds admin privileges to the existing accounts that you specify. You can specify a single account name:

foo

or multiple comma-separated account names:

foo,bar,baz

You can also specify a wildcard:

*

For example, your organization contains these accounts: foo1, foo2, bar1, bar2, baz. You specify this attribute as:

*2,baz

This adds admin privileges to foo2, bar2, and baz. But the individual does not have any privileges for foo1 and bar1. To add user privileges for those, you could specify the following value for the Lacework User Role Accounts attribute.

*1

If you specify an account for admin privileges, you do not need to specify it for user privileges in the Lacework User Role Accounts attribute. Any accounts that are also in Lacework User Role Accounts will be ignored and admin privileges will still be granted to them.

Lacework User Role Accounts Attribute

This section contains details about defining the Lacework User Role Accounts attribute.

Lacework User Role Accounts adds user privileges to the existing accounts that you specify. You can specify a single account name or multiple comma-separated account names. You can also specify a wildcard:

*

For example, your organization contains these accounts: foo1, foo2, bar1, bar2, baz.

You specify this attribute as:

b*

This adds user privileges to bar1, bar2, and baz. But the individual does not have any privileges for foo1 and foo2.

To add user privileges for foo1 as well, you could specify this attribute as:

foo1,b*

Another example with the same accounts would be to specify the attribute as:

*

And to specify Lacework Admin Role Accounts as:

bar*

This gives user privileges for all accounts and admin privileges to only bar1 and bar2.

If you specify an account for admin privileges and user privileges, admin privileges will be granted.

Lacework Power User Role Accounts Attribute

This section contains details about defining the Lacework Power User Role Accounts attribute.

Lacework Power User Role Accounts adds power user privileges to existing accounts that you specify. Power Users have similar access to Administrators but without access to Settings and Utilities. You can specify a single account name or multiple comma-separated account names. You can also specify a wildcard:

*

For example, your organization contains these accounts: foo1, foo2, bar1, bar2, baz.

You specify this attribute as:

b*

This adds power user privileges to bar1, bar2, and baz. But the individual does not have any privileges for foo1 and foo2.

To add user privileges for foo1 as well, you could specify this attribute as:

foo1,b*

Another example with the same accounts would be to specify the attribute as:

*

And to specify Lacework Admin Role Accounts as:

bar*

This gives power user privileges for all accounts and admin privileges to only bar1 and bar2.

If you specify an account for admin privileges and power user privileges, admin privileges will be granted.

Lacework Custom User Groups

Custom user groups allow you to fully customize a set of permissions that meet the specific requirements of your organization. Specify a string of comma-separated custom user group GUIDs (globally unique identifiers).

Lacework Organization Admin Role Attribute

This section contains details about defining the Lacework Organization Admin Role attribute.

Lacework Organization Admin Role provides admin privileges to organization-level settings and admin privileges to all accounts within the organization.

Select Yes to make the individual an organization admin. If the individual is an organization admin, you do not need to set any other Lacework attributes; any settings in those attributes will be ignored.

Select No or Not Applicable if the individual should not have admin privileges to organization-level settings or admin privileges to all accounts within the organization. If the individual is not an organization admin, you can still specify account-level admin and user privileges with the Lacework Admin Role Accounts and Lacework User Role Accounts attributes. You can also specify user privileges to organization-level settings with the Lacework Organization User Role attribute.

Lacework Organization User Role Attribute

This section contains details about defining the Lacework Organization User Role attribute.

Lacework Organization User Role provides user (view-only) privileges to organization-level settings and user privileges to all accounts within the organization.

Select Yes to make the individual an organization user. If the individual is an organization user, you can still give account-level admin privileges with the Lacework Admin Role Accounts attribute. Any settings in the Lacework User Role Accounts attribute will be ignored.

Select No or Not Applicable if the individual should not have any privileges to organization-level settings or user privileges to all accounts within the organization. If the individual is not an organization user, you can still specify account-level admin and user privileges with the Lacework Admin Role Accounts and Lacework User Role Accounts attributes.

Finish SAML JIT Configuration

1. Ensure all attributes are set for a user.
2. Ensure the Lacework application is turned on.
3. Ensure you enable SAML in the Lacework Console and select the Just-in-Time User Provisioning option.

The user can now log in to Lacework through SAML.

When the user logs in, a profile (with the specified privileges) is added in only the accounts that are specified.

If the user has organization-level privileges, a profile (with the specified privileges) is added in each account that is part of the organization, accounts are not created.
