Apply an ARM account to a specific security role or data owner

There are two possibilities of involving data security officers and auditors in security related processes.

  • Grant the user read only access to Access Rights Manager.
  • Define which reports are relevant and Access Rights Manager will send them to the user automatically in the desired frequency.

 

Create a simple read-only account in ARM

Background / Value

Involve security officers in the process of access rights management by granting them read-only access. This allows them to generate their own reports.

These settings can be found in the ARM configuration application. You can find more detailed information in the chapter "Manage ARM Users".

  1. Start the ARM configuration application.
  2. Select "User Management".

  5. In the role column, select "Auditor".

The settings are active immediately.

 

Schedule reports

Background / Value

You can involve security personnel in the access rights management process by assigning reports to the appropriate security officers. Access Rights Manager sends the reports in the desired frequency. The process is identical for all reports.

We recommend sending a selection of management reports to the role responsible for security. The reports are easy to read and only contain the necessary information.
