Sentinel Accounts

Settings - Sentinel Accounts

There are two types of accounts in Sentinel: Admins and Non-admins.

  • Admins can access all PeopleSoft environments and Sentinel modules & submenus.

  • Non-admin users can only access the modules defined in their Security Profile for each PeopleSoft environment.

Security changes made in Sentinel and PeopleSoft are automatically synced after they occur. To differentiate between PeopleSoft and Sentinel updates, each update from Sentinel is prefixed by SNT_(User ID) in the PeopleSoft database.

Create A Sentinel Account

*A valid PeopleSoft UserID and Email Address are required to create a Sentinel account.

  1. Navigate to Settings - Sentinel Accounts.

  2. Click 'Add,' located at the top right.

  3. Search and select the user.

  4. Verify the PeopleSoft UserID, Email, and First & Last Name of the user.

  5. Click 'Create Account.'

  6. Once created, the new user will appear in the 'Users' tab.

Delete a Sentinel Account:

  1. Navigate to Settings - Sentinel Accounts.

  2. Select the user and click 'Delete Account.' *Audit logs will be retained, and any open Access Requests associated with the deleted user will be replaced with an 'Account Inactive' label.

Security Profiles

Security Profiles are used to manage access to Sentinel modules and submenus. Non-admin users can only access a PeopleSoft environment if given an Access Profile for the environment.

Sentinel includes delivered profiles that can be modified, or new profiles can be created.

'Default' Access Profiles

A 'Default Profile' is assigned to a user who registers for an account on the Login page (SSO). This profile only grants access to the Request module unless otherwise modified.

Create a New Security Profile:

  1. Navigate to Settings - Sentinel Accounts.

  2. Under the 'Security Profiles' tab, click 'Add.'

  3. Input a Profile Name and Description.

  4. Click 'Create.'

  5. Once created, check the boxes to specify which modules and submenus the profile will grant 'View' or 'Edit/Update' permissions. *Select 'X' to remove module access.

Non-admin users can only access a PeopleSoft environment if they've been assigned a profile for the environment.

Grant Non-Admin Users Access to Environments:

  1. Navigate to Settings - Sentinel Accounts.

  2. Search and select a user.

  3. Use the dropdown to assign a profile for each environment applicable.
