Shallow Use Case

A shallow universe includes data from many different endpoint types. The shallow use case is used for certification, role modeling, and so on, for business roles. The object mapping between CA GovernanceMinder and the endpoint system is less granular.

Shallow Use Case with CA GovernanceMinder and CA IdentityMinder

When importing data to a shallow universe, any endpoint privileges are mapped to CA GovernanceMinder resources, whereas Provisioning Roles and Account Templates are mapped to CA GovernanceMinder roles.

When exporting data back to CA IdentityMinder, modifications to users or resources are not exported.

Shallow Use Case with CA GovernanceMinder and CA IAM Connector Server

When importing data to a shallow universe, all endpoint privileges are mapped to CA GovernanceMinder resources.

When exporting data back to CA IdentityMinder, all supported changes are reflected on the endpoint. Unsupported changes are not handled.
