To meet varying customer requirements, Identity Manager 4.0.1 is shipped in two editions, Advanced Edition and Standard Edition. The Advanced Edition includes a complete set of features for enterprise-class user provisioning. The Standard Edition includes a subset of the features available in the Identity Manager Advanced Edition and continues to provide all the features that were present in the previous versions of Identity Manager. For a comparison of the Identity Manager features available in the Advanced and Standard Editions, see the Identity Manager Version Comparison.
Identity Manager Telemetry is a new job introduced with Identity Manager 4.0.1. The job functions as a usage counting tool or a license monitoring tool that provides value to the Identity Manager customers, because they can add more licenses or retire unused licenses. The customers can also leverage benefits such as inactive user pricing.
The Resource Request activity allows you to automate the granting or revoking of resources to users. For example, you might write a provisioning request definition that provisions all of the resources a new employee needs on his or her first day. Using the resource request activity, you can automate the approval of that employee for specified resources. For more details on resource request activity, see ”Resource Request Activity” in the User Application: Design Guide.
