Roles and Access Control (RAC) assigns the rights within OpenText eDirectory to perform tasks. To perform certain tasks, you must have rights in the OpenText eDirectory tree. When you assign a role to a user, RAC assigns the necessary rights to perform the tasks of that role.
This section covers the following topics:
IMPORTANT:Setting up the RAC feature is optional, but we recommend setting it up to optimize your OpenText Identity Console application (version 1.6 and later). Moreover, the RAC objects must be managed only through OpenText Identity Console.
IMPORTANT:When you have Role Based Services (RBS) collections in iManager, create a corresponding RAC configuration, as the iManager RBS Collections will not get recognized in OpenText Identity Console. It is recommended that either you use iManager RBS or RAC Configuration, as both cannot co-exist. As the iManager is being deprecated, it is recommended to create a new RAC Collection in OpenText Identity Console. For more information see: Existence of RBS collection in iManager
