User types in Exposure Analytics

Exposure Analytics includes a few predefined user types. You can modify these user types or add your own additional ones. Identity types fall under two categories: Human or non-human. Human identities are tied to individual users. Non-human users can span multiple systems, and they might be shared amongst several users. If compromised, they can expose a large portion of your environment.

Default human users

• User: Standard accounts for employees or contractors.

• Admin: Privileged accounts for individuals who need special permissions.

Default non-human users

• Service: Accounts used by applications or systems. For example, a service account might be deployed on every company laptop.

• Key: Credentials that can be copied and shared to connect to APIs.
