To configure SAPM without the need for any system, an SAPM account must be added. Authorized users can define their privileged users as SAPM accounts, independently of the target device. Kron PAM retrieves the information of an SAPM account and encrypts and stores the password in the SAPM database.
To add a Static Configured Static Account:

1. Navigate to **SAPM Management** > **SAPM Management**.
2. Open the **SAPM Accounts** tab.
3. Enter the Type (Static), Account Name, Description, Group Name, Private, Owner, Additional Info, Username, Password and Configuration. (Configuration is a predefined STATIC Strategy. Kron PAM has predefined configurations for SAPM, but Static Strategy Configurations can be added from the Configuration tab without any device configuration.)
4. Click **Save** and **Confirm** the pop-up dialog box.

- There is a password counter feature for Static Configured Static Accounts. With this feature, an account in SAPM cannot update the old password value in the counter specified. To activate this feature, the following parameters have to be defined in the System Config Manager:

| **Parameter Name**                    | **Parameter Value**     |
| ------------------------------------- | ----------------------- |
| **sapm.old.password.history.enabled** | true                    |
| **sapm.old.password.history.count**   | %number% (Default is 5) |
