9.1 Overview

This chapter describes the various reports that can be generated in Oracle Identity Analytics. Reports are valuable tools that auditors and end-user managers can use to evaluate, analyze, and review access controls in the organization.

Reports are broadly classified as follows:

  • Business structure reports: Out-of-the-box reports that run on selected business structures.

  • System reports: Out-of-the-box reports that are run on all users, roles, or policies in Oracle Identity Analytics.

  • Identity Audit reports: Open-audit exception reports based on audit policy scans.

  • Custom reports: Reports customized according to the requirements of your organization.

9.2 Understanding the Reports User Interface

This section provides help using the Reports portion of the user interface.

To open the reports dashboard, choose Reports > Dashboard from the main menu.

The reports dashboard summarizes status information for reports. The two graphs are the following:
