User types

A user can be of several types. For example, a specific user can be a manager as well as an employee at the same time.

Each user type has a corresponding user group in Omada Identity. Being member of the user group does, however, not necessarily mean in itself that a user is of the corresponding user type as it sometimes also requires additional configuration to be that For example, a user might be member of the System owners group. However, if he is not also stated as the owner of one or more systems than in fact he can’t truly be considered as being of user type System owner.

Binary user types

• Managers: manage specific identities and/or business contexts.
• Resource Owners: own specific resources and/or resource folders.
• Service Desk Agents: serve in the service desk for specific business contexts.
