Populating Oracle Waveset With Roles Information From Oracle Identity Analytics

See the use cases in this section if you have user accounts in Oracle Identity Analytics that you want to use to populate the Oracle Waveset repository.

Note - Exporting roles from Oracle Identity Analytics to Oracle Waveset should be a one-time event that takes place during configuration. To export roles to Oracle Waveset, be sure that the Role Consumer box is selected in the Sun (Oracle Waveset) Provisioning Server settings.

Oracle Identity Analytics can create roles based on either existing entitlements or business attributes (client requirements). Policy formation and role-policy association can be performed during role creation. In addition, the role-user association can also be established.

Oracle Waveset does not have the concept of policies. The roles in Oracle Identity Analytics are mapped to Business Roles in Oracle Waveset, whereas the policies in Oracle Identity Analytics are mapped to IT Roles in Oracle Waveset. As policies are directly assigned to resources in Oracle Identity Analytics, similarly IT Roles are directly assigned to resources in Oracle Waveset. Thus, the one-to-many relationship between role and policies is carried forward from Oracle Identity Analytics to Oracle Waveset by way of the one-to-many relationship between Business Roles and IT Roles. This allows for more efficient grouping of entitlements and easier management of user access. Thus, along with roles, policies also need to be exported from Oracle Identity Analytics to Oracle Waveset.
