Certification Campaigns

Certification campaigns open the role hierarchy, user privileges, and business rules you define in CA RCM to review. When you initiate a certification campaign, CA RCM automatically invites managers to review and certify the access privileges of the users or resources they administer. CA RCM provides tools to customize, track, and manage the certification process, and to implement changes indicated by reviewers.

Certification campaigns support the following business cases:

• Confirm data security compliance—Where there is a legal requirement to demonstrate data security measures, certification campaigns document periodic review of access to data by employees.
• Refine Role-based Access Control—Review of the resources and child roles included in each role confirms that the role hierarchy suits actual patterns of usage, and that role definitions are useful.
