Compare the Latest User Assessment with the Baseline

If you have set a baseline User Assessment for the selected target database, you can compare the latest assessment of the same target database with the baseline. To do this, open the latest assessment report and use the Compare with Baseline feature. This comparison shows you what user accounts have been added, deleted, or modified in the interval between the baseline and the latest assessment. In the case of modified users, the comparison shows the details of the modifications.

  1. Under Security Center, click User Assessment.
  2. Click the Target Summary tab.
  3. From the Compartment drop-down list, select the compartment that contains your target database. Optionally, deselect INCLUDE CHILD COMPARTMENTS to not list target databases in the child compartments.
  4. (Optional) Under Filters, select a target database from the Target databases list to narrow the scope of displayed metrics and charts.
  5. Open the latest assessment report. To do this, in the Target Summary table, locate the line for your target database, and click View Report in the Last Assessed On column.

    The Assessment Details page is displayed, showing you the latest assessment for the target database. On the left under Resources, there are two options to compare assessments: Compare with Baseline and Compare Assessments.

  6. Click Compare With Baseline.

    A Comparison With Baseline section is added to Assessment Details page.

  7. To do a comparison, click Compare Now.

    The Comparison report is displayed.

The comparison shows what has changed in the latest assessment, relative to the baseline. The Status column shows whether a user is:

  • New – did not exist in the baseline.
  • Deleted – existed in the baseline, but does not exist in the Latest Assessment.
  • Existing – present in both assessments but has been modified in the interval between the baseline and the latest assessment.

The Comparison Results column shows whether something in the user account was added, removed, or modified and names the areas (called User Details in User Assessment) where changes have occurred.

Note:

The comparison shows the deltas between the two assessments. User accounts that exist in both assessments, but have not been modified are not listed.
