Define an access entitlement in ISIM

The next step is to reconcile the Windows local service and define an access entitlement for a shared folder on the Windows system.

This task creates an access entitlement for a shared folder named Presentations on the Windows system. In order for this task to work, the service owner or administrator must.

• Create in Windows a folder named Presentations and a group Presenters.
• Make access to that folder available to the Presenters group.
• Run a reconciliation to load groups into the ISIM system.

Log on to ISIM administrative console as itim manager.

A group of accountants needs to manage files for quarterly presentations. Each accountant is responsible for certain files in the presentation; some files overlap responsibilities. To maintain up-to-date records and secure this information, the accountants maintain a shared folder. Turnover in the accounting department makes it time consuming to regularly assign permissions and track users who require continued access to the shared folders. Security Identity Manager is used to facilitate this process.
