Many Micro Focus NetIQ Identity Manager customers would prefer to reduce their individual permissions and transition to role-based access control sooner rather than later. The advantages speak for themselves, as streamlined permission assignment and simplified role-based access...

• Increases user acceptance across business departments
• Reduces incorrectly assigned permissions, enhancing security
• Improves traceability to meet compliance requirements and audit demands

However, when attempting to analyze existing permissions and model roles, Micro Focus NetIQ Identity Manager customers typically face these challenges:

• The Micro Focus NetIQ Identity Manager lacks built-in role mining tools for analyzing target system permissions and modeling roles, forcing customers to prepare data manually using tools like Excel
• The User Application's role catalog makes importing modeled roles cumbersome and unintuitive
• The role catalog also proves user-unfriendly for ongoing role and permission maintenance throughout their lifecycle

The root cause is that while leading IAM products like Micro Focus NetIQ Identity Manager technically support role-based access control, vendors like Micro Focus unfortunately don't provide adequate tools or methods to analyze permission structures, bundle permissions into business roles, or manage them effectively.
