Home / Identity Administration / User Accounts and Groups / Linux / Current: Creating Linux Users
When you connect EmpowerID to a Linux system, EmpowerID creates an account store object in the EmpowerID Identity Warehouse with a unique Account Store ID for that connected system. This Account Store ID is bound to each of the Linux accounts that EmpowerID inventories from that account store, as well as to any new Linux accounts you create in EmpowerID for that account store.
