Deep Use Case

A deep use case works with data from a single endpoint to perform certification or role modeling. The object mapping between CA GovernanceMinder and the CA IAM Connector Server is more granular than in a shallow use case. When you import data in a deep use case, you map some endpoint objects to CA GovernanceMinder resources and map other endpoint objects to CA GovernanceMinder roles. When you import data into a deep universe, ensure that you map all mandatory attributes of the endpoint to appropriate CA GovernanceMinder roles or resources.

You can use the CA IAM Connector Server to create a deep use case where you can analyze roles within an application. The CA IAM Connector Server allows you to connect to and manage endpoints in environments that are not managed by <imgr>. The CA IAM Connector Server is an optional part of the CA GovernanceMinder installation.
