Accounts on Endpoint Systems

Each global user may have accounts on endpoint systems, such as Microsoft Exchange, Ingres, or Active Directory. If the global user is also associated with an Identity Manager user, the Identity Manager user has access to the accounts on the endpoint systems.

When you view or modify a user in the User Console, the Accounts tab lists the endpoint accounts for that user. For each account, the tab displays information such as the account name, the endpoint where the account exists, and the status of the account. For a modify task, additional options are available for actions such as changing a users password and locking or suspending an account.

For details on the other options you can provide on the Accounts tab, see the user console help for the Configure Accounts tab.

Two other types of accounts exist on endpoint systems:

• Orphan Accounts—Accounts that are not associated with a global user
• System Accounts—Accounts that are not associated with a global user and are used to manage the endpoint system

These accounts can be assigned to a user through the Manage Orphan Accounts and Manage System Accounts tasks in the User Console.
