The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are further for initiating access to the federated access provider within the enterprise to configure the federated access provider to provide access to the user of one or more entitlements, in response to the user authenticating with the federated access provider.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are further for assigning the synthetic role to a first identity based on an access request submitted by the user for the synthetic role.

8. A method for identity management of cloud based computing services, comprising:

providing an interface to obtain synthetic role information from a user;

determining a synthetic role definition based on the obtained synthetic role information, the synthetic role definition comprising a mapping between an Identity and Access Management (IAM) entity entitlement and a cloud access interface entitlement;

obtaining identity management data from one or more source systems, the identity management data comprising data on a set of identity management artifacts utilized in identity management for a distributed enterprise computing environment, wherein the source systems include a federated access provider and a cloud service provider;

determining, from the identity management data, the IAM entity entitlement representing a first access right associated with an IAM entity of the cloud service provider, the IAM entity associated with the enterprise;

determining, from the identity management data, the cloud access entitlement associated with the federated access provider, wherein the cloud access entitlement represents a second access right associated with the IAM entity of the cloud service provider, the second access right provided through the federated access provider;

generating a synthetic role at the identity management system based on the determined synthetic role definition, wherein the generated synthetic role associates the IAM entity entitlement and the cloud access entitlement;

assigning the generated role to a first identity and provisioning a native account of the first identity at the federated access provider;

obtaining an event log from the cloud service provider, wherein the event log includes events associated with the IAM entity of the cloud service provider;

determining one or more events of the event log associated with the first identity; and

associating the one or more events with the first identity based on the IAM entity entitlement representing the first access right for the IAM entity.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the interface is configured to present one or more artifacts associated with the cloud service provider to the user and to receive one or more selections from the user of one or more artifacts associated with the cloud service provider to be mapped to user selected artifacts associated with the federated access provider.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the interface is configured to receive input from the user to initialize searching by federated access artifacts, and to present, to the user, search results including one or more identity management artifacts associated with the federated access provider.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the interface is configured to obtain, from the user, a name for the synthetic role definition.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the synthetic role is defined as a role according to a model of the identity management system.

13. The method of claim 8 , further comprising initiating access to the federated access provider within the enterprise to configure the federated access provider to provide access to the user of one or more entitlements, in response to the user authenticating with the federated access provider.

14. The method of claim 8 , further comprising assigning the synthetic role to a first identity based on an access request submitted by the user for the synthetic role.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, comprising instructions when executed for identity management of cloud based computing services to perform the steps of:

providing an interface to obtain synthetic role information from a user;

determining a synthetic role definition based on the obtained synthetic role information, the synthetic role definition comprising a mapping between an Identity and Access Management (IAM) entity entitlement and a cloud access interface entitlement;

obtaining identity management data from one or more source systems, the identity management data comprising data on a set of identity management artifacts utilized in identity management for a distributed enterprise computing environment, wherein the source systems include a federated access provider and a cloud service provider;

determining, from the identity management data, the IAM entity entitlement representing a first access right associated with an IAM entity of the cloud service provider, the IAM entity associated with the enterprise;

determining, from the identity management data, the cloud access entitlement associated with the federated access provider, wherein the cloud access entitlement represents a second access right associated with the IAM entity of the cloud service provider, the second access right provided through the federated access provider;

generating a synthetic role at the identity management system based on the determined synthetic role definition, wherein the generated synthetic role associates the IAM entity entitlement and the cloud access entitlement;

assigning the generated synthetic role to a first identity and provisioning a native account of the first identity at the federated access provider;
