Goals of the Identity Manager System

The Identity Manager solution enables you to accomplish the following goals:

• Manage account access to a large variety of systems and resources.

• Securely manage dynamic account information for each user’s array of accounts.

• Set up delegated rights to create and manage user account data.

• Handle large numbers of enterprise resources, as well as an increasingly large number of extranet customers and partners.

• Securely authorize user access to enterprise information systems. With Identity Manager, you have fully integrated functionality to grant, manage, and revoke access privileges across internal and external organizations.

• Keep data synchronized by not keeping data. The Identity Manager solution supports two key principles that superior systems management tools should observe:

  • The product should have minimal impact on the system it is managing.

  • The product should not introduce more complexity to your enterprise by adding another resource to manage.

  Define audit policies to manage compliance with user access privileges and manage violations through automated remediation actions and email alerts.

• Conduct periodic access reviews and define attestation review and approval procedures that automate the process of certifying user privileges.

• Monitor key information and audit and review statistics through the dashboard.
