Change an account

We can change various information about our account. If the list of accounts does not include an account we were expecting to see, might not have permission to change it.

  1. On the IBM Security Identity Manager Home page, in My Access, click View or Change Account or Change Account.

    A list of your individual accounts is displayed.

  2. If we do not find the account that we want on the View or Change Account page, click Search.

    1. Select the ownership type to search on.

      We can search only one ownership type at a time. The provisioning policy for the account type governs the available ownership types.

    2. Optional: Type a user ID search string.

      Specifying a user ID search string limits the search to accounts that contain the search string. For example, type smith in the field. The filter limits the search to user IDs that contain the string smith, such as smithj, bsmith, or dsmithson. If we do not specify anything in the field or specify an asterisk (*) the default behavior searches all user IDs.

    3. Select a service type.

      A service type is also called a profile. We can limit your search to a specific service type, such as an LDAP, AIX, or manual type service. The All selection searches the available service types on the system.

    4. Optional: Accept the preselected Account Type or click Organizational Unit to change the Search By option.

    5. Enter the search information in the Search By field.

      Select Account Type searches for accounts associated with that account type that contain the search string. Selecting Organizational Unit searches for account associated with all account types under all the organizational units that contain the search string. If we do not specify anything in the field or specify an asterisk (*) the default behavior searches all account types or organizational units.

    6. Click Search

      The resultstable displays all the account types that match the search criteria up to the search.limit. If the search results exceed the search.limit, you must further limit the scope of the search and search again.

  3. On the View or Change Account page or on the View or Change Account Information page, click the account type to change.

  4. Click each tab, and change the values of the account attributes on each tab. The tabs displayed and your permissions to edit fields within those tabs depend on the account.

  5. Click OK to submit the change request. If we do not have permission to modify any account attributes, click Cancel.

  6. If you have clicked OK, verify your request on the Request Submitted page.
