File Access Manager User Interfaces

There are three user interfaces to File Access Manager:

File Access Manager Administrative Client

This is a windows based application installed on site. This interface is accessible to administrators and other specific users defined in the system. It includes configuration and activation of File Access Manager services and activities.

Authentication: Login and Password

Note: This interface is in the process of being phased out, as functionality is converted into the File Access Manager website.

File Access Manager website

A web based interface accessible to all users in the system’s domain.
Within the File Access Manager website, users’ access to data and functionality is set to fit the users’ role in the company and data they are authorized to view. Screens and buttons within screens that a user does not have the right to use are disabled, or not displayed.

Authentication: Login to the system is auto-authenticated through IIS, or via supported SSO sources.

File Access Manager API

A standard RESTful API supporting SCIM standard for identity management. The API documentation can be found in the installed server at the URL

[Installed server]/IdentityIQFAMapi/docs/index.html

Authentication: The File Access Manager API uses OAuth 2.0 as well as Basic Authentication across HTTP.

Note: To set up the File Access Manager website on HTTPS, see File Access Manager Website SSL.
