Who is responsible for Administration of OneAdvanced Identity?

Much like your PICS Environment, customers are responsible for the administration of the OneAdvanced Identity portal. Our support team will assist in the initial setup and configuration, but they will not have access to your data.

How are users created in OneAdvanced Identity?

This is broken down into two categorises:
Users that exist in PICS prior to OneAdvanced Identity being switched on will need to be created to be within the Identity Service. This is done by accessing the user within PICS and clicking a dedicated button to create them in OneAdvanced Idenity. For more information on this process please view Creating Users in OneAdvanced Identity.

Once OneAdvanced Identity has been switched on, any user that is created in PICS is automatically created within OneAdvanced Identity.


Once OneAdvanced Identity is enabled how will i sign in?

The sign in process will change for users who have been created in OneAdvanced Identity.
These users will need to sign in using a dedicated button that will be present on the front page.
Users who have not been created in OneAdvanced Identity can continue to sign into PICS using the standard username and password.
