In this chapter, we have seen how the power of MIM allows you to manage identities out of the box, although some things require customization. We suggest building the basic, easier pieces first, and work on more advanced pieces in phases.
Before touching the MIM product, you will need to decide where the required unique attributes, such as AccountName, first-time password, and possibly things like e-mail address, are to be created.
We have also seen how easy it is to implement basic self-service using MIM Portal, which allows you to delegate some administration to the users themselves.
In the next chapter, we will extend this to groups, and look at how MIM can be used to enhance your group management.
