Access type management

Access types are a way to classify the kinds of access users see. Use the Manage Access Types task to classify the types of accesses in the organization. The following access types are included with: IBM Security Identity Manager

• Application, which is access to an application
• E-mail group, which is membership in an email group
• Role, which is a role for IT resource access
• Shared folder, which is access to a shared folder

As an administrator, we can create more access types, such as for intranet web applications or Active Directory (AD) application shared folders.

Over time, several accesses might be defined. Classify them into commonly available accesses, or use categories for smarter searches for infrequent accesses.

• Create access types
  As an administrator, we can create additional access types, such as for intranet web applications or Active Directory (AD) application shared folders.
• Change access types
  As an administrator, we can change access types, such as for intranet web applications or Active Directory (AD) application shared folders.
• Deleting access types
  As an administrator, we can delete access types that are no longer needed in the organization.
