### Services

In OpenSSO, a service is a group of attributes that are managed together by the OpenSSO console. The attributes can be just bits of related information such as an employee's name, job title, and email address. But attributes are typically used as configuration parameters for a software module such as a mail application or payroll service.

Through the Services tab, you can add and configure a number of OpenSSO default services to a realm. You can add the following services:

- Administration

- Policy Configuration

- Discovery Service

- Globalization Settings

- Password Reset

- Session

- User
