| Approval request |
Approval requests enable just in time (JIT) access, allowing you to provide granular privileged access as and when requested. |
| Account state |
Accounts discovered on a device during a device audit are allocated a state to help identify if the accounts are recognised. The account states can be used to review and assess the validity of the audited account that exists on the device. |

Refers to the authentication service the account is linked to, and which is used by Osirium PAM to authenticate the accounts on the device. |
| Admin Interface |
Web based interface used to manage and administer Osirium PAM. |
| Cluster Joining Bundle |
File generated on a leader cluster node and required when joining nodes to an existing cluster. |
| Control account |
Account that will be used to manage the device. It will be used by Osirium PAM to manage and communicate with the device/Active Directory. |
| Device |
Refers to the device that has been provisioned and is accessed through Osirium PAM. |
| Device state |
Status indicators allow you to monitor the current state and accessibility of the device and help highlight any issues with a device. |
| Device tasks |

| Device template |
See template. |
| Device tools |
Protocols used to access a device, i.e. HTTPS, SSH, RDP, etc. |
| Fingerprint |
Helps safeguard against man-in-the-middle attacks. Osirium PAM will check that the associated fingerprint matches the devices fingerprint during connection. |

| MAP Server |
Is an Osirium PAM controlled Windows Server used for launching remote applications. |
| Master Encyption Key (MEK) |
The underlying encryption key for the PAM Server database, required to recover a system using a backup file and clustering. |
| MESH |
Allows an active primary PAM Server to push a copy of its backup file to a secondary PAM Server. The secondary PAM Server does not contain any live configurations. It will be used for restoring the primary server using the backup if the active server goes down. |

| SuperAdmin account |
The primary account that will be created during the PAM installation and given full access to the Admin Interface. |
| Tasks |
See device tasks. |
| Template |
Interface between Osirium PAM and the device. Provides the necessary language to allow Osirium PAM to communicate with the device and provide access control, account provisioning and execution of tasks. |
| Tools |
See device tools. |
| UI |
See User Interface. |
