User management
A user is a person with IBM® Security Privileged Identity Manager account.
Aliases
An alias is an identity name for a user. A user can have multiple aliases to map to the various user IDs that the user has for accounts.
A user can have several aliases; for example, GSmith, GWSmith, and SmithG.
Groups
A group is a collection of IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager users. IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager users can belong to one or more groups. Groups are used to control user access to functions and data in IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager.
Some users might belong to default groups that IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager provides. Your site might also create additional, customized groups. Each group references a user category, which has a related set of default permissions and operations, and views that the user can access.
Groups grant specific access to certain applications or other functions. For example, the Privileged Administrator group and the Privileged Session Recorder Auditor group.
