Hitachi ID Identity Manager
Hitachi ID Identity Manager is a complete user provisioning solution that automates and simplifies the routine tasks of managing users and entitlements across multiple systems and applications. Organizations depend on Identity Manager to ensure that their users get appropriate access rights promptly and are deprovisioned reliably and completely.
Identity Manager implements the following business processes to drive administrative updates to users and entitlements:
- Automation: grant or revoke access based on data feeds.
- Synchronization: keep identity attributes consistent across applications.
- Self service: empower users to update their own profiles.
- Delegated administration: allow business stake-holders to request changes directly.
- Workflow: invite business stake-holders to review and either approve or reject proposed changes.

Hitachi ID Privileged Password Manager
Hitachi ID Privileged Password Manager is a system for securing access to privileged accounts. It works by regularly randomizing privileged passwords on workstations, servers, network devices and applications. Random passwords are encrypted and stored on at least two replicated vaults. Access to privileged accounts may be disclosed:
- To IT staff, after they have authenticated and their requests have been authorized.
- To applications, replacing embedded passwords.
- To Windows workstations and servers, which need them to start services.
Password changes and access disclosure are closely controlled and audited, to satisfy policy and regulatory requirements.

Hitachi ID Group Manager
Hitachi ID Group Manager is a self-service solution that enables business users to manage membership security groups without assistance from IT.
Security groups are used by systems and applications to determine what a user has access to. For example, in a Windows environment, user membership in Active Directory groups determines what shares, folders and printers a user can access.
While IT staff generally understand security groups, most business users do not. This makes the interaction between business users and IT staff slow and frustrating for both parties.
Group Manager allows users to make requests for access using concepts they understand: which resource they would like to access (e.g., shares, folders), the access rights they would like to have (e.g., read-only vs read/write) and the person who will have to approve the change.
Group Manager improves user service, reduces IT cost and ensures that group membership is appropriately authorized before being granted.
