View an account

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

To view an account:

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

    A list of your individual accounts is displayed.

  2. If we do not find the account that you want on the View 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 Results table.

      The table 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 Account page or on the View Account Information page, click the account type to view.

  4. On the Account Information notebook, review the values of the account attributes. If multiple notebook tabs are displayed, click each notebook tab to review other account attributes.

  5. When we are finished reviewing your account information, click Cancel to return to the View Account page.
