This book describes the user interface of the Novell® Identity Manager user application and how you can use the features it offers, including:
Identity self-service (for user information, passwords, and directories)
Requests and approvals (using workflow-based provisioning) if you have the Provisioning Module for Identity Manager
The information in this book is for end users of the Identity Manager user interface.
This guide assumes that you are using the default configuration of the Identity Manager user interface. However, it’s possible that your version of the user interface has been customized to look or operate differently.
Before you get started, you should check with your system administrator for details on any customizations you might encounter.
