Issue/Introduction

The following account exists in the Information Centric Analytics (ICA) console under Admin > Privileges > Portal Users:

  • RiskFabric System

What is the purpose of this account?

Environment

Release : All versions

Component : Portal Privileges

Resolution

The RiskFabric System account is used by ICA to attribute operations that are not directly initiated by a portal user (for example, predictive classification). ICA records this account's PortalUserID value in certain tables when actions are initiated by system processes. Because this account is not tied to an Active Directory user account, it cannot be used to login to the application.

The password for this account cannot be modified and, as of version 6.6, the account cannot be deleted from the Risk Fabric console; however, deletion of the account through the console in versions prior to 6.6 will not have any adverse impact on product operations because only a soft-delete is performed (that is, the record is flagged as deleted but remains extant in the database). System actions will continue to be attributed to this account in system logs and tables.
