Access type management
Access types are a way to classify the kinds of access that users see. Use the Manage Access Types task to classify the types of accesses in your organization.
The following access types are included with: IBM® Security Identity Manager
- Application, which is access to an application
- E-mail group, which is membership in an email group
- Role, which is a role for IT resource access
- Shared folder, which is access to a shared folder
As an administrator, you can create more access types, such as for intranet web applications or Active Directory (AD) application shared folders.
Over time, several accesses might be defined. Classify them into commonly available accesses, or use categories for smarter searches for infrequent accesses.
