Account discriminator is a collection of attributes on a form that uniquely identifies the logical entity on which accounts are created.

This term is sometimes loosely referred to as a target. For instance, for an AD server, an account discriminator can be a combination of AD server (an attribute of type IT Resource) and Organization Name.

The account discriminator is a field on a process form (account data) that distinguishes two accounts of the same user, which can be present on the same target system or different target systems. For example:

• If user Jane.Doe is to be provisioned two accounts on two different UNIX servers, then IT resource can be used as account discriminator.
• If user John.Doe is to be provisioned two accounts on the same database instance, then distinct login IDs can be used as account discriminator.

Attributes are marked as account discriminators by setting the Account Discriminator property of a Form field to true.
