Data Access Governance makes use of the following components in File Reporter:
Engine: The File Reporter Engine coordinates and manages the delegation of file system scans for each scan target based on policy.
Scan Processor: The Scan Processor imports file system scan data from AgentFS scan agents. In addition, it hosts the Job Runner used to process the aggregated file system access data for use with Identity Governance.
AgentFS: Scan agents are used to perform the actual collection of file system metadata for selected scan targets.
Database: The File Reporter database holds all definitions for scan targets, scan policies, as well as the collected file system scan data and aggregated file system access data for Identity Governance.
Data Access Governance also requires a basic understanding of these constructs in File Reporter:
Identity System: For Data Access Governance, an Active Directory identity system is required. The identity system provides access to the various identities and resources for collection in File Reporter and for association with Identity Governance.
Scan Targets: Each scan target represents a file share where one or more Data Access Governance Target Paths exist.
Scan Policies: Scan policies define the type of scan and a schedule for scanning the file system metadata needed for Data Access Governance.
