API eIAM-RDM
eIAM-RDM allows users to be invited into eIAM using a REST (Representational State Transfer) API. RDM stands for Remote Delegated Management. In principle, delegated management is about someone else granting permissions rather than the person responsible for permissions in an office (cf. eIAM performance 6 under and eIAM-VideWhen using RDM, it is not a human who triggers the invitation in eIAM, but a machine (process in the business application). eIAM sends the invited person an e-mail containing an invitation text and an onboarding code. The invited person redeems the onboarding code once using an adequate electronic identity of their choice, thus this electronic identity is connected to the target application via eIAM.

- Create
- Delete
- Update
- Get single user

- Get onboarding state
Usage consideration
The consideration of whether to use eIAM's in general and possibly in particular via RDM is based on the modelling of the onboarding processes, i.e. the question of "how do users get into the target application for the first time".
