Managing identities

Quick answer

Working with identities in IdentityIQ: the Identity Warehouse, viewing the Identity Cube, attributes, accounts and history.

Key takeaways

  • Identity Warehouse lists all identities
  • The Cube consolidates attributes, accounts, entitlements, roles
  • Attributes come from authoritative sources via transformations
  • History supports audit and troubleshooting

The Identity Warehouse

The Identity Warehouse lists every identity IdentityIQ knows about. From here you open an identity to see its consolidated Cube: attributes, accounts, entitlements, roles and policy status.

Identity attributes

Attributes are mapped from authoritative sources and shaped by transformations. They drive roles, policies and lifecycle events, so accurate mapping matters.

Accounts and entitlements

Each identity links to accounts on connected applications, and each account carries entitlements. This is the evidence certifications and policies act on.

History and events

Identity history records what changed and when, supporting audit and troubleshooting of unexpected access.
