Entities management

An entity is a person or object for which information is stored.

While there are many types of system entities, such as policy and workflow, only the following entity types are provided for customization:
  • Account
  • BPPerson (Business Partner Person)
  • BusinessPartnerOrganization
  • Organization
  • Person
  • Service

System administrators can customize existing system entities by selectively mapping entity attributes to custom LDAP class attributes. System administrators can also create new Person and BPPerson (Business Partner Person) custom entities. The administrator associates unique entity names with the standard IBM® Security Identity Manager entity types.
