Identity management - Physical ID

Manage identities in the Smart ID Manager

Use case overview

Synchronize identities

Identities are managed in the AD or an HR system, and automatically imported into Identity Manager in a scheduled process. If the main identity source is an HR system, then the data import is done via CSV files. 

In the Smart ID package, there are two types of identities: employees and external persons. External persons are for example consultants and contractors. Both active and inactive persons are imported. Persons can be inactive when they are on temporary leave, for example. 

The following use cases are available:
