About this task

Provisioning provides the following features.

Create new users

Delete users
Deactivating the user or disabling the user's access to the application through IBM Verify deletes the user in the iSeries application.
Modify user profile
Updates made to the user's profile through IBM Verify are pushed to the iSeries application.
User suspend and restore
Suspending a user through IBM Verify deactivates the user and restoring the user through IBM Verify activates the user in the iSeries application.
User synchronization and remediation
Synchronization fetches all the iSeries application users, creates the users on IBM Verify, and according to the remediation policy, modifies the attributes. Group synchronization fetches all the target application groups in IBM Verify.
