User Account Information

In many environments, user accounts on various provisioning endpoints define user access to resources. You can import this account information into special Accounts configuration files in the universe.

The Account configurations are based on the master and model configurations of the universe, and map users to their accounts on provisioning endpoints.

The Account configurations are created automatically when you import account information. These configuration files are named using the following convention:

modelconfig_Accounts.cfg
masterconfig_Accounts.cfg

Note: modelconfig is the name of the model configuration in the universe. masterconfig is the name of the master configuration in the universe.

When you use the entity browser to examine any configuration of a universe that contains Account configurations, the entity browser shows account information for each user.
