How do universities match identities to prevent duplicates with SailPoint?
SailPoint consolidates data from multiple sources and creates a central identity repository. In the process, we use a fuzzy matching technique to identify duplicate users and accounts, even if the data isn’t always perfect. Think of it like a search engine that understands typos and variations. We are looking for close matches and depending on the uniqueness, we can recommend a match or raise a notification to conduct further analysis. Learn more.
How does SailPoint complement Active Directory?
While Active Directory’s access control focuses primarily on user authentication, SailPoint identity security governs and manages access rights across various applications and systems, providing advanced features like access request workflows, automated provisioning, and compliance controls, making it ideal for complex enterprise environments where granular access management is crucial.
