CA GovernanceMinder Master and Model Configurations

The Master configuration represents entities and privileges as they are in reality. The Model configuration is a development space that lets you experiment with how you might want to change the entities and privileges in your deployment.

When you import data from CA IdentityMinder, the product updates the Master and the Model configuration files. Both configuration files are the same immediately after an import. When you run a certification, the information in the Model configuration is updated to reflect the changes.

When you export data from the product back into CA IdentityMinder, CA GovernanceMinder creates a DIFF file between the Master and Model configurations. This DIFF file represents all the changes sent to CA IdentityMinder during the export.

When the export to CA IdentityMinder completes, the CA GovernanceMinder Model configuration becomes the new Master configuration.
