Benefits of Group Implementation

The advantages offered by the implementation of groups in SailPoint are:

  • Logical, meaningful names can be used for UID masks, reflecting their grouping qualities.

  • Setting up a new user is easily accomplished by connecting the user to groups or disconnecting the user from groups instead of updating the coded UID fields.

  • The group can be associated with SailPoint IT Roles, allowing for automated creation of users and assigning of access rights.

  • The Account—Group connection window shows which Account is associated with a Group and vice-versa.

  • SailPoint's drag-and-drop capabilities can be used to create connections between Accounts and Groups.
