Use the General tab to specify the details
of the separation configuration.
- ID
- Type the unique integer to identify the separation configuration.
- The ID value is automatically populated with the next sequential number
not in use.
- Code
- Type a unique value to identify this role.
- Description
- Type a description for this separation configuration.
- Max depth
- The maximum number of degrees of separation of one multi-degree relationship
chain in an entity graph considered for role alert detection.
- For example:
- Entity A know entity B.
- Entity B knows entity C.
The depth of this entity graph is two: entity A knows entity B, and entity
B knows entity C.
- Path strength threshold
- The calculated path strength threshold of a role
alert chain. A role alert chain whose path strength is below this threshold
will not generate role alerts.
- The path strength is the product, converted to an integer, of the relationship
score decimal conversions of every entity in the role alert chain.
- The default is 15.
- For example:
- Entity A know entity B.
- Entity B knows entity C.
- Entity A knows entity D.
- Entity D knows entity E.
- The relationship score for entity A knows entity B is 90. 90 is converted
to the decimal .9
- The relationship score for entity B knows entity C is 70. 70 is converted
to the decimal .7
- The relationship score for entity A knows entity D is 80. 80 is converted
to the decimal .8
- The relationship score for entity D knows entity E is 70. 70 is converted
to the decimal .7
- The relationship scores in the role alert chain are multiplied; (.9 x
.7 x .8 x .7) = .3528
- .3528 is converted to the integer 35.
- If the path strength threshold is less than or equal
to 35, a role alert can be generated based on this separation configuration.
- Degrees of Separation evaluates all paths that connect two entities and
will use the strongest path strength in reporting relationships.
- Max role alert degree
- The maximum number of degrees of separation between the two entities at
the end of two multi-degree relationship chains in an entity graph considered
for role alert detection.
- For example:
- Entity A know entity B.
- Entity B knows entity C.
- Entity A knows entity D.
- Entity D knows entity E.
- Entity E knows entity F.
- Entity F knows entity G.
The role alert degrees of this entity graph are:- The role alert degree between entity A and entity B is 1.
- The role alert degree between entity A and entity C is 2.
- The role alert degree between entity A and entity D is 1.
- The role alert degree between entity A and entity E is 2.
- The role alert degree between entity A and entity F is 3.
- The role alert degree between entity A and entity G is 4.
- The role alert degree between entity B and entity G is 5.
- The role alert degree between entity C and entity G is 6.
- If the max role alert degree is 6, entity C knows
entity G can generate a role alert.
