## Use case

One vSphere admin account can reach every virtual machine on a host. Hydden collects the accounts on your vSphere environment and flags the ones that carry risk.

## Why it matters

Virtualization admins hold the keys to everything that runs on top. Those accounts belong in the same review as the rest.

## How it works

1. **1. Collect from vSphere** The accounts enabled on your vSphere environment.
2. **2. Join the identity record** Each vSphere account is matched to the same person's other accounts.
3. **3. Spot the risk** Risk insights flag the vSphere accounts that need a look.

## Screens and documentation

The vSphere data source is available to all customers. Add it like any other source in Hydden.

**Need configuration detail?** Technical documentation is available to customers after sign-in.

## Key benefits

Let's say John, an infrastructure lead, runs production on vSphere. He wants to know who can still sign in to the hosts. Here is what Hydden does.

1. Collects the accounts on vSphere.
2. Shows who owns each one, and which ones belong to nobody.
3. Flags the risky accounts, so John can close them first.
