Assets and Access Request Items

If your organization owns resources that are not automatically provisioned through provisioning policies, but must be requested by users, you can create Asset Types, Assets, and Asset Request Items to represent those resources. Once these objects are created, you can use them to manage the provisioning of the objects they represent, assigning them to special classes of users or publishing them to the IT Shop for general access. The topics in this section show you how to get started.

Asset types and assets can be actual resources that exist in the EmpowerID Identity Warehouse, like shared folders, user accounts, and Exchange mailboxes, or they can be generic assets added to the Identity Warehouse for tracking purposes only, such as mobile phones and tablets.
