Core objects

IdentityIQ stores configuration and data as objects. Knowing the main ones and how they relate is the key to reading and editing configuration confidently.

An Identity is a person; a Link is an account on an application owned by that identity. Links carry the entitlements aggregated from the source.

Application, Bundle, Entitlement

An Application (source) defines a connected system; a Bundle is a role; ManagedAttribute/Entitlement represents a grantable permission.

Governance objects

Policy, Certification, WorkItem and WorkflowCase capture governance state such as violations, reviews, tasks and running processes.
