User administration

You can manage people and their user accounts and access in IBM Verify Identity Governance.

A person is an individual in the system that has a person record in one or more corporate directories. Because information about a person can exist in the system without a user account, the term user is often used to describe a person that has profile information in IVIG.

A user who has an IVIG service account is called a IVIG user. Some people might not require an IVIG service account. For example, external customers or business partners who require access to a specific managed resource might not require an IVIG account. However, they might be populated into the system as persons.

Use the Manage Users page for the following tasks:

• Create and delete profiles that define a person in the system
• Change a user's personal profile
• Suspend or restore a person
• Transfer a person to another business unit
• Request an access or account for a person
• Change or delete an access/account for a person
• Change or reset user account passwords
• Delegate activities to a IVIG user
• Recertify a user (Only system administrators can perform this task.)
