OIM Account Types

There are 3 different types of Account in OIM.
* Rogue Account
* Orphan Account
* Service Account

1. Rogue Account

A rogue account is an account created beyond the control of the provisioning system.

 Below are the 2 possible instances :

-> An account that exists on the target system but has been de-provisioned from the corresponding User in OIM.

-> An account that exists on the target system but the OIM User to whom the account is provisioned has been deleted from OIM

2. Orphan Account

An orphan account is an operational account without a valid owner i.e an account that exists on the target system but has no corresponding

owner (OIM User) in Oracle Identity Manager. Rogue and Orphan account leads to security risks.

3. Service Account

Service account is like Admin account. Which has different life cycle and privileges. A service account is distinguished from a regular

account by an internal flag.When a user is provisioned with a service account, Oracle Identity Manager manages a mapping from the user's

identity to the service account. This user is considered the owner of the Service Account.
