Kron PAM is flexible in adding and managing accounts. With sufficient portal rights given to users, they can add their accounts, just like admins. In this respect, management rights can be assigned to an admin or authorized user. User rights will be detailed in the Password Vault User Rights section.

:::hint{type="info"}
To assign Password Vault to users, the **sapm.admin.manage.all.accounts **parameter must be configured in System Config Manager as **false.**
:::

Users can set accounts added to Password Vault as private, as long as the Private field on the Vault account addition modal is set as **YES**. If an account is set as private, it cannot be seen by other users in the same User Group.


Private accounts can be set to work by default through the system, by configuring the following parameters in the System Configuration Manager:

| **Parameter Name**                    | **Parameter Value** |
| ------------------------------------- | ------------------- |
| **sapm.private.option.default.value** | YES                 |
| **sapm.private.option.hide**          | true                |

Each account has one user ownership. Users can share the account with their group or with other groups whenever they want.


The following system config parameter enables case sensitivity for Vault account names:

| **Parameter Name**                            | **Parameter Value** |
| --------------------------------------------- | ------------------- |
| **sapm.allow\.case.insensitive.account.name** | false               |

In Kron PAM, for users defined in the password vault, headers have been placed at the top of the screen to provide a summary based on the **Strategy type** value and configurations.

In this panel, the distribution of accounts added to the password vault is displayed schematically with each type represented by a different icon and color. The following are shown separately in the PAM system:

- Total number of Vault accounts,
- Number of Dynamic Accounts,
- Number of Static Accounts,
- Number of Vault Accounts by protocol type (regardless of whether they are Dynamic or Static), such as **SSH** and **MS\_Active\_Directory**.

When each icon or color object in this panel is clicked, the relevant Vault Accounts will be listed on the screen.
