<p>The <strong>eimAddIdentifier()</strong> function creates an identifier in
EIM related to a specific person or entity within an enterprise. This
identifier is used to manage information and identify relationships for a
specific user or identity.</p>

<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
<dl>
<dt><em>EIM Data</em></dt>
<dd>Access to EIM data is controlled by EIM access groups. LDAP administrators
also have access to EIM data. The access groups whose members have authority to
the EIM data for this API follow:
<ul>
<li>EIM Administrator</li>
<li>EIM Identifiers Administrator</li>
</ul>

<!-- ============================================================== -->
<!-- sizeOfUniqueName -->
<!-- ============================================================== -->
<dt><strong>sizeOfUniqueName</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;(Input/Output)</dt>

ignored if <em>nameInUseAction</em> is EIM_FAIL.
<p>At input it is the size provided by the caller. On output it contains the
actual size returned. This value should be the size of the <em>name</em>
parameter plus an additional 20 bytes.</p>
