Add and manage identity types in Splunk Asset and Risk Intelligence

Splunk Asset and Risk Intelligence includes a few default identity types. You can modify these identity types or add your own custom ones. Identity types fall under two categories: Human or non-human. Human identities are tied to individual users. Non-human identities 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 identities

  • User: Standard accounts for employees or contractors.

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

Default non-human identities

  • 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.
