Abstract

Systems and methods for embodiments of artificial intelligence systems for identity management are disclosed. Embodiments of the identity management systems disclosed herein may support the creation, association, searching, or visualization of any relevant context to identity management assets for a variety of purposes, including for informing the identity management systems' manual or automated decisions, processes or workflows.

Claims (40)

1. An identity management system, comprising:

a processor;

a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium, including computer instructions for:

maintaining a search index for identity management artifacts utilized in identity management of a distributed enterprise computing environment and determined based on identity management data obtained from one or more source systems in the distributed enterprise computing environment, the search index comprising a document for each of the identity management artifacts;

determining a set of the identity management artifacts utilized in identity management in the distributed enterprise computing environment, the determined set of the identity management artifacts each being associated with a specified criteria;

associating a tag with the determined set of the identity management artifacts;

for each of the set of identity management artifacts, determining the corresponding document;

storing the tag in each of the corresponding documents; and

indexing the tag in the search index, thereby allowing the set of identity management artifacts to be searched using the tag and the search index.

2. The identity management system of claim 1 , wherein determining the set of identity management artifacts comprises searching the set of identity management artifacts based on the specified criteria.

3. The identity management system of claim 1 , wherein the tag was associated before at least one of the set of the identity management artifacts was determined from the identity management data.

4. The identity management system of claim 1 , wherein the tag is indexed in association with the at least one of the of the set of the identity management artifacts at the same time the document for the at least one of the of the set of the identity management artifacts is determined or created in the search index.

5. The identity management system of claim 1 , wherein determining a set of the identity management artifacts is based on an association of each of the set of the identity management artifacts with a particular identity management artifact.

6. The identity management system of claim 5 , wherein determining the set of the identity management artifacts are identities and the particular identity management artifact is an entitlement.

7. The system of claim 5 , wherein the tag is obtained from the particular identity management artifact.

8. A method, comprising:

maintaining a search index for identity management artifacts utilized in identity, the search index comprising a document for each of the identity management artifacts;

determining a set of the identity management artifacts utilized in identity management in the distributed enterprise computing environment, the determined set of the identity management artifacts each being associated with a specified criteria;

associating a tag with the determined set of the identity management artifacts;

for each of the set of identity management artifacts, determining the corresponding document;

storing the tag in each of the corresponding documents; and

indexing the tag in the search index, thereby allowing the set of identity management artifacts to be searched using the tag and the search index.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein determining the set of identity management artifacts comprises searching the set of identity management artifacts based on the specified criteria.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the tag was associated before at least one of the set of the identity management artifacts was determined from the identity management data.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the tag is indexed in association with the at least one of the of the set of the identity management artifacts at the same time the document for the at least one of the of the set of the identity management artifacts is determined or created in the search index.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein determining a set of the identity management artifacts is based on an association of each of the set of the identity management artifacts with a particular identity management artifact.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein determining the set of the identity management artifacts are identities and the particular identity management artifact is an entitlement.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the tag is obtained from the particular identity management artifact.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising instructions that are executable by one or more processors for:

maintaining a search index for identity management artifacts utilized in identity management of a distributed enterprise computing environment and determined based on identity management data obtained from one or more source systems in the distributed enterprise computing environment, the search index comprising a document for each of the identity management artifacts;

determining a set of the identity management artifacts utilized in identity management in the distributed enterprise computing environment, the determined set of the identity management artifacts each being associated with a specified criteria;

associating a tag with the determined set of the identity management artifacts;

for each of the set of identity management artifacts, determining the corresponding document;

storing the tag in each of the corresponding documents; and

indexing the tag in the search index, thereby allowing the set of identity management artifacts to be searched using the tag and the search index.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein determining the set of identity management artifacts comprises searching the set of identity management artifacts based on the specified criteria.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the tag was associated before at least one of the set of the identity management artifacts was determined from the identity management data.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the tag is indexed in association with the at least one of the of the set of the identity management artifacts at the same time the document for the at least one of the of the set of the identity management artifacts is determined or created in the search index.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein determining a set of the identity management artifacts is based on an association of each of the set of the identity management artifacts with a particular identity management artifact.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19 , wherein determining the set of the identity management artifacts are identities and the particular identity management artifact is an entitlement.
