RoleManager Regular Edition – Fast and Easy Modeling and Management of Roles and Permissions
Without the right tools and a suitable methodology, modeling and managing business roles is a major challenge for many organizations. What’s more, laying the foundation for a role-based access control (RBAC) system is not a one-time task — it's a continuous process. Organizations, identities, accounts, permissions, and permission structures must be analyzed, roles must be modeled, and existing roles must be regularly checked for SoD (Segregation of Duties) conflicts.
In addition, due to constant organizational changes, role models and roles need to be continuously maintained and adjusted to prevent them from becoming outdated within weeks — rendering all previous effort ineffective.
This is where the RoleManager comes into play.
What Does the RoleManager Do?
The RoleManager is a comprehensive software solution designed to help both business departments and IT master the challenge of role management. It enables fast and easy modeling, as well as secure and sustainable management of roles and permissions — all while ensuring compliance with relevant governance and regulatory standards.
The functional scope is divided into four core areas:
Analyze: Data collection for organizational structure, identities, accounts, permissions, and permission structures — including clear visual analysis.
Design: Creation of the role model and intelligent role modeling using built-in role mining methods and context-aware pattern recognition.
Control: Continuous monitoring of roles and permission assignments for SoD (Segregation of Duties) conflicts and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Maintain: Ongoing maintenance and adjustment of the role model and roles in response to changing business and technical requirements or organizational restructuring.
Detailed information on the features of each functional area can be found further down this page.

RoleManager Use Cases
If any of the following use cases apply to your organization, then the RoleManager is the right solution for you!
- You are already using an Identity & Access Management (IAM) system and want to minimize the assignment of individual permissions, develop a role model, model business roles, and switch to role-based access control (RBAC).
- You are in the process of introducing an IAM system or planning to do so — and want to clean up existing permissions in your target systems and begin role modeling in parallel or in advance.
- You want to visualize, analyze, and clean up the permission structures and distributions in your systems such as Active Directory, file systems, or SAP.
- You are working with target systems that have complex permission structures and want to model system-level roles — such as SAP roles or organizational AD groups.
What are the Benefits of the RoleManager?
- The comprehensive analysis of all relevant organizational, identity, and permission data quickly provides a solid foundation for role modeling and saves time and resources.
- Fast and easy role modeling, supported by intelligent role mining methods, delivers reliable results in a short time.
- Regular checks for SoD conflicts and compliance with regulatory requirements create security and give you the confidence to face audits at any time.
