Role Data

Role data consists of Role objects, including Roles subtypes such as Business Roles, IT Roles, Applications, and Assets.

Role data is similar to organization data, and these objects are relatively static after a customer deploys Identity Manager.

An exception to the preceding statement is a deployment that is integrated with an external source containing an authoritative set of roles. One integration style might be to feed role changes into Identity Manager, which causes Identity Manager Role data to be more volatile.

Generally, the number of role objects is small when compared to the number of identity objects such as users (assuming that multiple users share each role), but this depends on how each enterprise defines its roles.

Role data is stored in ROLEOBJ, ROLEATTR, and ROLECHANGE tables.
