This article describes how to view, assign and withdraw permissions for users and roles in Smart ID Identity Manager. 

Step-by-step instruction

 Log in to Identity Manager Admin
  1. Log in to Identity Manager Admin as Administrator.
 Open user or role to view or edit

To view or edit permissions of an individual user:

  1. In Identity Manager Admin, go to Home > User Administration. 
  2. Double-click a user name in the list.
    The user settings are shown. 

To view or edit permissions of a role:

  1. In Identity Manager Admin, go to Home > Roles.
  2. Double-click a role name in the list.

    The role settings are shown. 

 For roles: Limit access to certain instance IDs

Roles in Identity Manager can be configured to only access certain Identity Manager instances, by using the instance ID setting. 

To limit a role to access only certain instances:

  1. In Instance Ids, enter a comma-separated list of instanceIDs as configured in the system.properties of each instance. 

    Example: Instance Ids

    Instance Ids = internet, intranet

    If the field is left empty, then all instances are allowed.
    For information on how to configure instanceIDs in system.properties, see Limit role to access certain instances of Identity Manager client.
