Accessor Elements
Each user is represented by an accessor element (ACEE)-an in-memory reflection of the user's record in the database. Privileged Identity Manager builds the accessor element during the login process. The accessor element is associated with the user's process. Whenever the process requests a system service that is protected by Privileged Identity Manager, or issues an implicit request to access a resource, Privileged Identity Manager accesses the resource's record. It then determines whether the information in the previously created accessor element-such as the user's security level, mode, and group-lets the user access the resource.
