Ownership type management

Ownership types classify the accounts. Use the Manage Ownership Types task to classify ownership types in the organization. If we configure multiple account ownership types, IBM Security Identity Manager prompts users to select the ownership type when requesting a new account or assigning accounts to users. Security Identity Manager includes the following :

• Device
• Individual
• System
• Vendor

As an administrator, we can create additional ownership types.

An account can have only one type of ownership. The ownership type depends on the intended use of the account. The type of ownership affects the password management process. For example, password synchronization provides change of password for accounts that have the ownership type, "Individual".

• Create ownership types
  As an administrator, we can create additional ownership types.
• Deleting ownership types and account categories
  When ownership types are no longer valid, administrators can delete all ownership types, except Individual.
