Access to Password Management Features

In EmpowerID, you can control access to Password Manager operations by assigning users to specific Management Roles. To work with Password Management, users must have the appropriate role assigned to them. Management Roles in EmpowerID have prefixes that indicate their function, such as UI, VIS, and ACT for Password Manager.

UI Management Roles grant users access to specific elements within EmpowerID's web interface. For instance, the UI-Person-Password-Self-Service role allows users to access the self-service password reset enrollment interface and change their own passwords.

VIS Management Roles enable users to view specific objects within EmpowerID. By default, every user has the VIS-Person-Self role for Password Manager.

ACT Management Roles provide users with the ability to manage specific objects within EmpowerID. For example, a Password Manager ACT role might allow users to reset passwords or unlock accounts for others.

By understanding these Management Role types, organizations can effectively manage user access to Password Manager operations in EmpowerID.
