# Introduction to Identity self service

## What is identity self service?

Soffid Console provides the identity self service, where the **end-users** can consult or change their credentials, request new permissions or access to applications, manage their profile, or launch applications. All from a single point of entry.

Another purpose of the identity self service is to reduce the workload of the **IT department**, as well as improve the overall security of the IT system.

Soffid allows administrator users to configure access to the different options depending on the end-users roles defined to use Soffid. In this way, end-users will be able to access the identity self service Portal to manage their own requirements always depending on the defined business processes.
