At the request of many customers, we are expanding our product portfolio with the R&D RoleManager Analyze Edition. It is designed for customers who are only interested in the analysis functionality of the R&D RoleManager, because role modeling and maintenance are currently not or not yet a topic for them. The main application focus for these companies is to analyze and clean up permissions, thereby increasing the data quality of their authorization management and avoiding risks.

From his many years of experience, our role expert Karl-Heinz Huber knows what these customers have in common:

The customer group for which the R&D RoleManager Analyze Edition is perfectly suited has lost track of their permissions due to grown structures. Over the years, this has resulted in a mess where the group network in Active Directory is no longer manageable and the paths through which an employee obtains permissions in the file system are no longer traceable. Very often it also concerns many other systems where the overview is missing of who has which permissions. In addition, these customers face the major challenge of applying compliance rules and avoiding the use of critical permission combinations.

To get an overview of which companies benefit greatly from using the R&D RoleManager Analyze Edition, the following use cases can be summarized. It is exactly the right solution for customers who

• want to visualize, evaluate, and clean up the permission structure and permission distribution of their systems, such as Active Directory, file system or SAP
• are currently in the process of or planning to implement an Identity & Access Management system and intend to clean up the permissions in the target systems in parallel or in advance
• must provide information about who has which permissions in which systems due to compliance requirements
• want to define rules to avoid critical permission combinations and monitor their compliance

Companies that decide to use the R&D RoleManager Analyze Edition naturally also have the option to expand the functional scope to include the application areas of role modeling and maintenance and to perform an upgrade to the full version, the R&D RoleManager Regular Edition.
