When prompted to select a shared access ID to check out, you select the non-exclusive shared access credential. For more information about the check-out process of shared access credentials in a privileged identity management workflow, see Shared access credential check-out process in the IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager documentation.

    To configure a non-exclusive credential, see Configuring a non-exclusive credential setting in IBM Security Identity Manager.
