Q&A Summary:

  1. As IGL is now used more for access request than reviews ( comparatively few years ago) what's new RSA doing in this module?
    • Hey, I'm not sure this is the case overall. RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle still has a huge focus on Access Reviews and this is why we update the whole user review experience in V7. These UI improvements will continue to happen and this will move into the Access Request module as well.
  2. When will a cloud based implementation be officially supported by RSA? RSA does support cloud based deployments, however we do not offer this as a service ourselves.
    • We continue to evalaute market demand to ensure we are offering the best possible solution to our clients.
  3. Are there any plans for addtional customization of collectors? Some of the collectors have very limited options. O365 & WorkDay for example.
  4. Can the thresholds for common/uncommon access be adjusted? They are currently fixed thresholds.
    • Our Product Management team has considered making these configurable in the future. If you would like to see this enhancement, I would strongly encourage you to submit an Idea in RSA's IGL Ideas page. - https://community.rsa.com/community/products/governance-and-lifecycle/ideas. Dont forget that you can just make your own ones too, if you need some more flexability.
  5. How do you set the Privigeged Application Access and Critiacl Appliation access... When will this be available for other then user reviews?
    • Privileged and Critical Application catagorization is based on setting an attribute on the Business Source. These attributes can be used to create custom review display views for use in other review types. We do plan to bring the new User Access Review experience to other review types in future releases.
  6. Do you need to run the review a couple of times before common and uncommon access is determined?
    • No. Common and uncommon catagorization is based on analytics run against the users that are in scope for a given reviewer. So if it is a manager reviewing his direct reports, we are looking at common and uncommon entitlements among that team. There is no need to "prime" the system.
  7. "If you click on one of the value (let's say ""Critical Application"") the icon is added into the Categories Filter. If you need to check another critical aspect, like ""Exceptional Access"" you have every time to delete all the previous filter added.
    • Probably better to think to a remove all filters or just remove them while clicking on other filters" There is a clear all filters button. Also if you click on a filter a second time it will remove the filter. We do allow you to stack filters so that, for example, you can view uncommon access withing privileged applications.

  12. We see always more enhancements in user review compare to others such as account reviews and group reviews.
    • Any new features for these reviews Our core base all use the "user access review" so this is where we start to have the most impact. We are always looking to expand out features, however please use RSA Ideas to submit your ideas and what you like too.

    • Hey, I've not seen or heard of this myself, however all issues like this should be raised with RSA Support, please create a case to address the issue.
  20. Del Van Rooyen what are the average times you have when you run entitlement and user collections?
    • Del has answerwed on the call - please see the recording for more info
