Action script

An action script is how an AnyIdentity provider implements its actions.

Devolutions PAM supports two different types of providers: managed and AnyIdentity. Both providers use actions to rotate passwords, but they perform these actions differently. Managed providers (and their actions) are developed internally and integrated directly into Devolutions PAM. In contrast, AnyIdentity providers implement actions through user-customizable PowerShell scripts. An action script executes the functionality of the action.

For AnyIdentity providers, Devolutions PAM functions as the action coordinator, delegating tasks to action scripts to discover, compare, and change passwords upon receiving password rotation requests.

Action scripts are only accessible during the creation of AnyIdentity templates. Once created, action scripts are not visible when managing AnyIdentity providers.
