Application Account Creation

A subject creates a user account directly within an enterprise application, internal platform, business system, or software-as-a-service environment. Application accounts may provide access to records, workflows, administrative functions, customer data, financial data, support tools, or operational processes managed inside that application.

 

Application accounts may be created through application administration consoles, SaaS management portals, support interfaces, local user stores, application programming interfaces, or built-in provisioning features. The account’s access may be shaped by application-specific roles, permissions, approval authority, data scope, workflow privileges, and administrative capabilities.
