Self-care user interface

The self-care user interface provides a simpler subset of personal tasks that apply only to the user. With the IBM Security Identity Manager self-care interface, users can update their personal information and passwords. Users can view requests, complete and delegate activities, and request and manage their own accounts and access.

The self-care user interface provides a central location for users to do various simple, intuitive tasks. Starting from IBM Security Identity Manager Version 7.0.2, the earlier version of the self-service user interface console has been deprecated. To accomplish the same self-service identity related tasks, log on to the Identity Service Center and ensure that the Manage Self persona is enabled.

See Identity Service Center for self-service. From the self-care home page, the following task panels are available, depending on the authority the system administrator granted.

Action Needed

A list of tasks that require completion.

My Password

A list of tasks to change passwords. If password synchronization is enabled, users can enter one password that is synchronized for all of their accounts. A user can reset a forgotten password by successfully responding to forgotten password questions, if forgotten password information is configured in the system.

My Access

A list of tasks to request and manage access to folders, applications, roles, and other resources.

My Profile
