Provisioning Manager Considerations

In an Identity Manager implementation, most user management tasks are performed in the User Console. For example, you use the User Console to manage global users and groups, and to create and assign provisioning roles. Although you can still perform these functions in the Provisioning Manager (previously called the Admin Manager), the User Console provides a single location for performing business changes.

After migrating user management tasks to the Identity Manager User Console, the following provisioning tasks will still require the Provisioning Manager:

• Some synchronization tasks, such as synchronizing users with roles, and synchronizing accounts with account templates
• Management of the Entrust PKI, CA SSO, CA EEM, Novell Netware, Ingres  and NSK Safeguard endpoint types
• Creation of direct associations between accounts and account templates
• Management of objects other than accounts, account Templates and endpoints
• Management of nested Provisioning Roles
• Program Exit configuration
• Provisioning Server administration
