Flexible Imports Feature

Flexible imports allow an Access Information Center user to view reports on permissions, activity, and sensitive content from sources or data not reported in the Access Information Center by default. Access Analyzer users can query any supported system for this type of information and import it into Access Information Center tables to display information in the Access Information Center. With flexible imports, the Access Information Center provides a single view of entitlements across any set of systems and applications.

The flexible imports feature populates the following Access Analyzer database tables, which enable Access Information Center to access the data for reports:

  • SA_AIC_FlexibleActivityEvents table
  • SA_AIC_FlexibleHosts table
  • SA_AIC_FlexibleLocalGroupMembership table
  • SA_AIC_FlexiblePermissions table
  • SA_AIC_FlexibleResources table
  • SA_AIC_FlexibleSddMatches table
  • SA_AIC_FlexibleSddMatchHits table

Imported data reports are accessed through the Resource Audit interface. Explore the resources by expanding the levels within the Resources pane and selecting the desired resource. These reports identify the following information in the targeted environment:

  • Permissions applied to a particular resource
  • What trustees are doing with their access
  • What potentially sensitive data exists across the targeted environment

Flexible Import Reports Quick Reference

The following imported data reports are available for selections within the Resources pane.

NOTE: Although the reports are always displayed at the nodes and levels listed, whether they are populated is determined by what data is imported for the environment.
