You can use the functions on the Profile Level Simulation screen to perform profile-level simulation as part of the access risk analysis for your organization.

Procedure

  1. Choose   Access Management   Access Risk Analysis   Profile Level Simulation  .

    The Simulation: Profile Level screen appears and displays the Define Analysis Criteria phase.

  2. Define the analysis criteria by the following methods:

    • Use an existing set of analysis criteria by entering its name in the Saved Variants field.

    • Use the fields available on the screen to specify new analysis criteria by doing the following:

      1. Under the Analysis Criteria area, use the available fields to specify the analysis criteria, such as System, Analysis Type, and so on.

        Note Note

        You can use the plus (+) and minus (-) pushbuttons to add or remove criteria fields.

        End of the note.
      2. Under the Report Options area, select and choose from the following:

        • Format, such as Summary, Detail, Management Summary, and Executive Summary

        • View, such as Technical View and Business View

        • Type, onlyAccess Risk Analysis is available and is automatically selected. You can select from the following access risk analysis options: Action Level, Permission Level, Critical Action, Critical Permission, Critical Role/Permission

        • Additional Criteria, such as Include Mitigated Risks and Show All Objects

      3. Optionally, you can, save the analysis criteria as a variant by entering a name in the Save Variant as field and choosing Save.

      4. Choose Next.

  3. On the Define Simulation Criteria screen, specify the criteria for the simulation by the following methods:

    • Use an existing set of simulation criteria by entering its name in the Saved Variants field.

    • Use the fields available on the screen to specify new simulation criteria by doing the following:

      1. Choose the Actions tab page to add actions, remove actions, or add and remove permissions associated with actions.

      2. Choose the Roles tab page to add roles, remove a role, or add and remove permissions associated with roles.

      3. Choose the Profiles tab page to add profiles, remove profiles, or add and remove permissions associated with profiles.

      4. In the Additional Criteria section, select any additional reporting criteria such as Exclude Values and Risk from Simulation Only..

      5. Optionally, save the simulation criteria as a variant by entering a name in the Save Variant as field and choosing Save.

      6. Choose Run in Foreground to start the simulation immediately or choose Run in Background to schedule a time and date to start the simulation.

        Note Note

        To view the status of background jobs, navigate to    Access Management   Scheduling   Background Jobs  .

        End of the note.
      7. If you choose Run in Foreground, confirm you want to run the analysis immediately by choosing OK. The simulation results appear in the Confirmation screen.

  4. On the Confirmation screen, review the results.

    Optionally, choose Export Result Sets to export the results to your local machine.
