10. Managing Users

In ID-Synch there are 2 classes of users:

• End users
• Console users

End users (users), are owners of a Profile ID, with accounts on a target system. These users are automatically added to the ID-Synch database during the nightly update process (see HERE).

End users can log into the following modules in ID-Synch:

• Front-end authentication module (nph-psf.exe)
• New account request module (nph-idr.exe)
• Request approval module (nph-idp.exe) (if they are authorizers)
• Request tracking module (nph-ids.exe)

Console users, do not have to be real users. That is, they do not need to be end users with accounts on target systems. Console users have a special purpose account in ID-Synch, that allows them to manage users and access web modules depending on their configured ACLs (rights). For example, the superuser created during setup is a console-user with full administrative rights in ID-Synch.

Console users can log into the following modules in ID-Synch

• Front-end authentication module (nph-psf.exe)
• Central console (nph-psa.exe)
• Account management console (nph-ida.exe)
