Displaying the origin of identities' roles and entitlements

The Show entitlements origin report allows you to determine which entitlements an identity owns and where they come from. You can establish whether the identity obtained an entitlements directly or indirectly. For example, in the case of an indirect assignment, you can determine whether the entitlement resulted from a department memberships or a request,

You can also use the report to discover which departments, cost centers, locations, and business roles are assigned to an identity and how the membership evolved.

To use the origin report

  • In the Designer, set the SysConfig | Display | SourceDetective configuration parameter and compile the database.

    NOTE: If you disable the configuration parameter at a later date, model components and scripts that are no longer required, are disabled. SQL procedures and triggers are still carried out. For more information about the behavior of preprocessor relevant configuration parameters and conditional compiling, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.
