As an Identity Management platform, one of EmpowerID’s primary use cases is to present an accurate picture of the security within each IT system in an organization's on-premise and Cloud landscape. In order to do this, EmpowerID periodically inventories and pulls in the user account objects from these “external” or “managed” systems into the Account table. From here on out we'll refer to them simply as Accounts in order to avoid confusion and avoid the terms user accounts or user. Accounts are users from external systems and Person objects are the primary identity or user object for the EmpowerID system. External systems containing user accounts are known as “Account Stores” in EmpowerID terminology and will be referred to as such going forward.
