What is the purpose of the Pending Accounts feed in CyberArk?

The purpose of the Pending Accounts feed in CyberArk is to facilitate the process of adding accounts to safes. When accounts are created or discovered in the environment, they often go through a stage where they must be reviewed or approved before they can be fully integrated into the CyberArk system. The Pending Accounts feed acts as a centralized list of these accounts pending approval, allowing administrators to manage and approve these accounts efficiently.

By using the Pending Accounts feed, organizations can ensure proper governance of privileged accounts, as it provides an opportunity to verify the legitimacy and necessity of each account before it gains access to sensitive resources. This enhances security by ensuring that only authorized accounts are stored in safes and actively managed through CyberArk.

While other options involve aspects of account management, they do not capture the specific purpose of the Pending Accounts feed. For instance, auditing account creation is a different process focused on tracking actions taken within the environment, rather than facilitating the approval of accounts. Similarly, tracking password changes pertains to monitoring password updates rather than managing account statuses. Therefore, adding accounts to safes is the direct function of the Pending Accounts feed, aligning it with CyberArk's overarching goals of privileged access security.
