Which system user is the current user using?

Users log in to the running administration tool using a system ID. Permitted system user IDs are determined by the authentication module you select. When the system user logs in to the One Identity Manager administration tools, the user interface is displayed and editing permissions are assigned depending on the permissions groups to which the user belongs.

For detailed information about the One Identity Manager authentication modules and system users, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.

To identify the current system user for the current user:

  • To display user information, double-click the icon in the status bar.

    The System user tab displays the following information about the system user.

Which permissions apply to the current user?
