Discovering Modeled-After Roles

CA GovernanceMindersupports two types of modeled-after roles:

By users

In this type, CA GovernanceMindercreates a role that is exemplified by a select group of users. CA GovernanceMinder will complete the role with the relevant resource, and other users that have not been explicitly selected but that share the role's resources. Use this form to create a role for the organizational unit, function, or any other feature that is common to the selected group of users.

By resources

In this type, CA GovernanceMinder creates a role that is exemplified by a select group of resources. CA GovernanceMinder will complete the role with the relevant users, and will add other resources that have not been explicitly selected but that are shared by the role's users. Use this form to create a role for a project or application.

When searching for roles that are modeled after a group of users, CA GovernanceMinder identifies the resources that are common to the selected users, and then completes the role with additional users. The result of running Define Modeled-After Roles by Users is a new CA GovernanceMinder configuration that includes the “model” users and any other users that possess the same resources as the “modeled-after” users.

To activate modeled-after search by users, select the model users, then use either the Discovery menu or the context menu (right click).
