Identity Assurance Solution
Adjustable Access Tuned to Changing Needs
Give them exactly what they need, when they need it. Throughout her career within your organization, an employee may play many roles. Novell Identity Manager lets you securely and automatically manage the access needs of all your users, even when they change roles and take on new responsibilities.
The Novell Identity Manager plug-ins for Novell iManager create a Role-based Entitlements area where you can create and manage role-based entitlement policies. These entitlement policies entitle particular groups of users to memberships and accounts in various connected systems. For example, you might create a Sales entitlement policy that entitles all users in your company's Sales department to an eDirectory group membership, a Notes user account, and a Microsoft Active Directory account.
From the Role-based Entitlements area, you can launch a wizard that walks you through a simple six-step process for creating role-based entitlement policies.
The Role-Based Entitlements feature in Identity Manager makes provisioning access rights and entitlements to memberships and accounts easier than ever for at least three reasons:
- You can write rules that instruct Identity Manager which users to grant which entitlements—without having to deal with XML or XSLT.
- You need write only one policy to grant several users entitlements to several connected systems.
- Users come and users go but, despite this fact of corporate life, you won't necessarily need to touch your entitlement policies. Identity Manager provisions access and entitlements based on users' roles—not their names.
