1.2 Adding Identity Governance Users

Until you collect data for your Identity Governance users, no one can log in to the application without using the bootstrap administrator account. Do not use the bootstrap administrator after you add your Identity Governance users to the Identity Governance attribute catalog and assign global authorizations to the users. For more information about the bootstrap administrator account, see Understanding the Bootstrap Administrator for Identity Governance in the NetIQ Identity Governance Installation Guide. For more information about mapping attributes, see Section 7.1, Configuring the Data Source for Post Authentication Matching.

NOTE:In a test environment that does not also use Identity Manager, you might not have an LDAP authentication server to use for your data source. Instead, you can use a CSV file that contains login information for Identity Governance users. The CSV file must use UTF-8 encoding.

To add Identity Governance users:

  1. Log in to Identity Governance with an Identity Governance bootstrap, global or data administrator account.

  2. In the Data Sources, select Identities.

  3. Under Identity Sources, select the LDAP authentication server that you specified during installation.

    Alternatively, you can specify a CSV file.

    NOTE:If Identity Governance does not list the authentication server, select + to add the identity source. For more information, see Section 3.3, Creating Identity and Application Sources.

  4. To collect the identities from the authentication server, select the icon for Collect Now. Later, you can set up scheduled collections to update your catalog.

    For more information, see Section 4.0, Creating and Monitoring Scheduled Collections.

  5. When collection is completed, select the icon for Publish identities now.

  6. Assign Identity Governance authorizations to the appropriate identities that you collected.

    For more information, see Section 1.3, Assigning Authorizations to Identity Governance Users.
