Using Model ACIDs

User administration also includes decisions about what applications users need access to. Some of these access rights can be defined through the profile definitions, but others have to be defined through the ACID definitions. CA Top Secret allows you to define user definitions to use as a model when you add a new user to a provisioning role in CA Identity Manager. These are called Model ACIDs. Their use is another effective way to reduce both network and security system overhead. By specifying a Model ACID on an account template in the Using field, you can effectively reduce the magnitude and complexity of the commands issued to CA Top Secret when creating new ACIDs.
