Task Phases

An admin task is an administrative operation, made up of one or more events, performed by CA Identity Manager administrators to manage or modify Identity Manager objects such as users, roles, groups, organizations, endpoints, and other objects.

Admin task execution has the following two phases:

• In the synchronous phase, the task has not yet been broken down into its component events.
• In the asynchronous phase, the task has been broken down into its component events.

Note: For more information about admin tasks, see the Administration Guide.
