1.1 Identity Manager Dashboard

Identity Manager Dashboard serves as the primary entry portal to the identity applications. From here, users can perform the following activities:

  • Manage their profile settings and password

  • Review and complete their tasks, such as approving user requests for access

  • Request permissions for roles, resources, or processes

  • Review the status and history of their requests for permissions

  • Find other users in your organization

Users with an appropriate administrator role can perform the following tasks:

  • Create and modify user profiles.

  • Create and modify teams that represent sets of users and groups that can perform provisioning requests and approval tasks associated with the teams.

  • Add items and links that your users need to see or access, such as links to your company intranet.

  • Add links to Catalog Administrator, the User Application, and Identity Reporting so your identity administrators can easily perform their tasks.

    Both Catalog Administrator and the User Application provide a Home button that returns users to the Dashboard.

  • Organize the items and links into categories that make sense for your enterprise

  • Manage user access to the various pages in the Dashboard.

  • Configure the ability for users to approve permission requests through email.

  • Change the look and feel of the site, such as the header, footer, and localization.

NOTE:This Dashboard replaces the previously released Identity Manager Home and Provisioning Dashboard. For example, if you attempt to edit Featured Items in Home, you will be directed to the new Dashboard. The older interface will be deprecated in a future release.

Although the installation program for the identity applications includes the Home and Provisioning Dashboard, this guide does not provide information for setting up or configuring that interface. For more information about that interface, see the NetIQ Identity Manager Home and Provisioning Dashboard User Guide.
