IM InfoSphere Identity Insight, Version 8.0

Role alerts

A role alert identifies when one or two entities linked through a relationship that meets or exceeds a configured role alert rule. Role alerts are based on configured roles and role alert rules. They can indicate a warning or a problem (such as a customer knows a bad guy) or simply indicate relationships of interest (such as a customer knows an employee).

You define relationships of interest or as conflicting by configuring role alert rules that identify which roles should not exist in a single entity or cannot be linked between one or more entities. Use the Configuration Console to configure filters for role alerts, which determine if the system realerts when there is new information (such as a new identity or a new data source code).

During entity resolution, the pipeline evaluates relationships between the incoming identity and entities on the candidate list. After determining a relationship exists between the incoming identity and a candidate entity, the system then evaluates whether the roles assigned meet a configured role alert rule. If so, the system generates a role alert.

A role alert identifies entity data at the time the role alert was created. The Role Alert detail screen shows the entity data as it existed at the time the role alert was created. As entity data changes over time, the entity resume contains the latest entity data. If you want to see the current data for a particular entity, view the entity resume.

You can view and work with role alerts in the Visualizer, and you can set preferences in the Visualizer to determine how alerts display in your Visualizer session.
