User Type

Description

User type is the way categorize the users to use different password policies. Those policies can be more or less restrictive depending on the user's risk. For example, internal users (automatically created) are different from external ones.

Therefore, this field is very useful for the following cases:

• Sort or list the users on the user's page or in the reports
• Apply different password policies
• Apply restrictions on the synchronization of Soffid to the target systems
• Ease configuration in automatic rules or custom scripts

Be in mind that a user always must belong to a User Type.
