Identity Manager Data Governance Edition 8.2

Identity Manager Data Governance Edition 8.2 - User Guide

The Account comparison feature in the Manager allows you to compare the access for two accounts. The results are grouped by:

Different: Shows account access that is different between the two accounts. That is, where only one account has access or where both accounts have different access to the resource.
Similar: Shows account access that is similar for both of the accounts. This can include access rights that are granted indirectly through the same or different group membership or explicitly through different user accounts.

The account comparison results contain the following details.

Different results

Table 56: Account comparison results: Different
Column	Description
Resource Name	The name of the resource to which one or both of the selected accounts has access.
<Source Account>	Indicates whether the Source account has access to the resource. A blank means that the Source account does not have access to the resource. (Only the Target account has access to the resource.) A green check mark means that the Source account has access to the resource. See the Right and Via Group columns to view the rights granted and whether it was granted directly or indirectly through group membership. When the Source account is the only account with access, the type of access is displayed in the Right column. When both accounts have access to the resource, but the type of access is different, the type of access is shown in parenthesis after the check mark.
<Target Account>	Indicates whether the Target account has access to the resource. A blank means that the Target account does not have access to the resource. (Only the Source account has access to the resource.) A green check mark means that the Target account has access to the resource. See the Right and Via Group columns to view the rights granted and whether it was granted directly or indirectly through group membership. When the Target account is the only account with access, the type of access is displayed in the Right column. When both accounts have access to the resource, but the type of access is different, the type of access is shown in the parenthesis after the check mark.
Right	The type of access granted to the resource.
Via Group	Displays the name of the account through which the displayed access (Right column) was granted. When a group name appears, this means that the account has indirect rights granted through group membership. When the user name appears, this means that the account has explicit rights to the resource.
Governed Resource	Indicates whether the resource is governed: True: Resource is governed. Blank: Resource is not governed.

Resource Name	The name of the resource to which both of the selected accounts have similar access.
<Source Account>	A green check mark indicates that the Source account has access to the resource.

When the same indirect rights are granted through different group membership, the group appears in parenthesis (Via <Group Name>). When the same indirect rights are granted through the same group membership, the group appears in the Via Group column.

Governed Resource	Indicates whether the resource is governed: True: Resource is governed. Blank: Resource is not governed.

Simulating the effects of group membership modifications on an account

Simulating changes to group membership enables you to see the access that would be gained or removed if a user or group had a change to their existing group membership.

Note: Account membership simulation is not supported for machine local trustees, well-known group accounts or built-in group accounts.

Once you have reviewed the results of the simulation, and before making any changes to the group membership, investigate the group membership on all managed hosts for the selected user or group. For details, see Viewing group membership and Managing account access.

To simulate changes to group membership

Navigate to and select an account (through the Security Index node, Accounts view, Security editor, etc.)
Select Account simulation in the Tasks view or right-click menu.
The Account field displays the selected account. Click the browse button to locate and select a different account.
Select the type of modification to be simulated:
- Remove from Group(s)
- Add to Group(s)
The Resource Types field defines the types of resources and the managed hosts to be included in the simulation. By default, all resource types and all managed hosts are included.

Click the Change button to limit your simulation to selected resource types or managed hosts. Clicking the Change button displays additional fields allowing you to make your selections:
- Type: Click the arrow control to select one or more types from a list of available resource types. To exclude a resource type, click the selected check box to clear it.
- Host: Click the arrow control to select one or more managed hosts from a list of available managed hosts. To exclude a managed host, click the selected check box to clear it.
Note: Running an account simulation for all hosts and resource types could take a significant amount of time to process. It is recommended that you select the hosts and resource types you are interested in to speed up the simulation process.
Click the Select Groups button to select the groups to be used in the simulation.
In the Remove Groups or Add Groups dialog, click the Browse Groups button to display the Select User or Group dialog. Locate and select the groups to be included in the simulation and click OK.

The selected groups appear on the Remove Groups or Add Groups dialog.

Click the Simulate button.
The results of the simulation appears, showing:
- For an Add to groups simulation, the resources the selected account will have access to if added to the specified groups.
- For a Remove from groups simulation, the resources the selected account would no longer have access to if removed from the specified groups.
See Account simulation results for a more detailed description of the simulation results.
(Optional) Click the Export to CSV button to export the results to a file. The Save As dialog appears allowing you to select the location where the report is to be saved and to specify a file name.

Note: The exported CSV file contains more information about the account simulation. For example, it contains the managed host ID which can be used to run scripts/commands against a particular managed host.

NOTE: You can use the Layout controls to select a predefined layout for displaying data. If you do not see the Layout field or buttons, use the Toggle layout options task to display these controls.

For more information, see Toggle layout options.

Account simulation results

The account simulation feature allows you to simulate changes to group membership before making any changes to the group membership.

For a "Add to Groups" simulation, you can see the resources the selected account will have access to if added to the specified groups.
For a "Remove from Groups" simulation, you can see the resources the selected account would no longer have access to if removed from the specified groups.

The results generated by an account simulation contain the following details:

Table 58: Account simulation results
Column	Description
Simulation Type	The type of simulation performed: Right Granted Right Revoked
Resource Name	The name of the resource, to which the account would be granted access or revoked access.
Resource Type	The type of resource.
Right	The access rights that would be granted or revoked. For a "Add to groups" simulation, the right to be granted is prefaced with a plus sign symbol. For a "Remove from groups" simulation, the right to be revoked is prefaced with a minus sign symbol.
Via Group	The name of the group through which access would be granted or revoked.
Governed Resource	Indicates whether the resource is governed. True: Resource is governed. Blank: Resource is not governed.

Add groups dialog

Use the Add groups dialog to select the groups to be included in an add simulation. This dialog appears when you click the Select Groups button at the top of the Account Simulation view when performing an add to groups simulation.

This dialog contains the following controls:

Table 59: Select groups dialogs: Controls
Control	Description
Groups list	Once groups have been selected, this list displays the groups to be included in the simulation.
Browse Groups	Click the Browse Groups button to display the Select User or Group dialog to locate and select the groups to be included in the simulation.

Cancel	Click the Cancel button to close the dialog without saving your selections or launching a simulation.
