PostgreSQL accounts let you manage access to your PostgreSQL databases. Users connect through Web Access (a browser-based interface) or CLI (a local proxy), and every session can be recorded.

​
Creating an Account

1

Start adding an account

Go to Privileged Access Management → Accounts and click Add Account.
2

Select a folder and template

Choose which folder to add the account to, then select a PostgreSQL template (e.g., the default postgres or a custom one).
3

Enter connection details

Already have a connection string? Paste it into the Host field and the remaining fields are filled in for you, credentials included. Both postgresql://user:password@host:5432/database and host=... port=... dbname=... forms work.
