User Databases in the UUID Tool

The User Databases section of the UUID Tool is where you define the parameters and settings, and identify data that is used to consolidate the user access rights and privileges across all systems in your organization. Your goal is to identify each person in your organization with the accounts they have access to on each of the systems in your organization.

In some cases this is straight forward, for example, if the organization's personnel use the same account ID on all systems. In other cases, it may be possible to identify the owner of an account because accounts are based on some naming convention, for example, jdoe for John Doe. In the more difficult cases, it may be possible to recognize the account owner based on cues in some of the other account fields, for example, name (free text), address, phone number, email address, and so on. This information is contained in the database files, *.udb files, that you extracted from each of the systems.
