Overview
The aim of this course is to showcase the key features and capabilities of the versatile and powerful access management solution in a PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud (Advanced Identity Cloud) environment, formerly known as ForgeRock® Identity Cloud. It provides the student with the knowledge and confidence to manage their own environment. It is accepted that this course is not able to demonstrate all the features and capabilities of the access management component of Advanced Identity Cloud. Further information and guidance can be found in the documentation and knowledge base in the online repositories at: Backstage https://backstage.forgerock.com.
