In order to manage resources, those resources must belong somewhere. In EmpowerID, this "somewhere" is an object known as an "EmpowerID Location" or "Location." These locations are user-defined logical representations of the organizational and geographical structure of an enterprise that you can map to actual resource locations in the enterprise's external directories or simply use them as containers for delegation purposes.
| Info |
|---|
If you are creating an EmpowerID Location to manage resources in an external directory, be sure to map the location to that external location; otherwise, changes made to any objects in the new location are not reflected in the external location. |
