IdentityIQ Role Manager

Role management has become a critical component in addressing governance, risk management and compliance requirements around user access to sensitive applications and data. Roles directly support compliance by aligning access privileges to user job functions within the organization and by providing business context to lower-level entitlements and permissions that must be reviewed by business managers and compliance staff.

IdentityIQ Role Manager helps organizations create, enforce and verify role-based access across diverse enterprise applications using an automated approach. By standardizing user access privileges using a flexible role model, Role Manager improves the accuracy of entitlements, increases the efficiency of IT administrators and ensures low-level access rights adhere to business and regulatory policies.
