Service Virtualization

Issue/Introduction

In DevTest Identity Access Manager (IAM), the default users like "admin" "tpower" and "vscuser" can be deleted without affecting any roles or group defined in IAM?

Environment

Any supported versions of Service Virtualization. Current versions are 10.8.x and 10.9.x

Cause

Customers want to see their users and don't want to see the default users in IAM.

Resolution

By design, can't delete admin and vscuser but can delete the other default users. Before deleting the users, recommended to make sure some users have IAM Administrator roles so they can login to IAM.

The vscuser  is an internal user and used by Virtual Service Catalog. Can't use the vscuser as other users and password change functionality is not available.
