Ownership type management

Ownership types classify the accounts. Use the Manage Ownership Types task to classify ownership types in your organization. If you configure multiple account ownership types, IBM® Security Identity Manager prompts users to select the ownership type when requesting a new account or assigning accounts to users.

An account can have only one type of ownership. The ownership type depends on the intended use of the account. The type of ownership affects the password management process. For example, password synchronization provides change of password for accounts that have the ownership type, "Individual".
