Managed Object Descriptions

In Identity Manager, you manage the following types of objects, corresponding to entries in a user store:

Users—Represent users in an enterprise.
Groups—Represent associations of users who have something in common.
(Optional) Organizations—Represent business units. Organizations may contain users, groups, and other organizations.
Note: Organizations Management provides information about configuring organizations.

An object description contains the following:

Information about the object, such as the tables in which the object is stored.
The attributes that store information about an entry. For example, the pager attribute stores a pager number.

Important! A Identity Manager environment supports only one type of user, group, and organization object.
