Exporting Configuration Data

After applying role discovery and auditing tools to users, roles and resources data and verification and correction where necessary, the data is almost ready for uploading (export) to the production server.

As mentioned, a typical process involves downloading resource, role, and user data from the external computer of an organization and performing role discovery and audit on those files using the client tools. The Compare Configurations option in the Management menu compares the original configuration imported from the external computer to the post-role discovery and audit configuration. The Role Engineer then examines the differences to verify that any changes to the databases are indeed correct and meet requirements. The Compare Configurations option is located in File, Compare Configurations on the menu bar.

Finally, the new users and resources databases are uploaded to the external computer and the original databases of the external computer are updated.
