Oracle has announced that the Oracle Role Manager is now available. It is an offering within Oracle Identity Management, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware.

Oracle Role Manager helps customers define and manage organizational relationships, roles, and associated privileges for improved security and regulatory compliance. According to Oracle, business users are empowered to manage business roles accurately and efficiently by utilizing advanced statistical analysis, administrative automation tools and a highly flexible design interface.

According to Gartner, “The use of Role Management for Enterprises (RME) products is fueled by regulatory compliance and workforce management pressures in the U.S. and Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The two goals for managing these pressures are addressing segregation-of-duties issues through the use of roles (roles are not an end in and of themselves), and addressing identity-auditing needs for access reporting and attestation (roles are not required). RME and identity-auditing products can address these goals, and there the boundaries between those two markets are beginning to blur.”

Featuring a modern architecture, Oracle Role Manager lays the foundation for Service-Oriented Security and includes the following features:
· Enterprise Role Governance Framework: Delivers a comprehensive framework consisting of business roles, IT roles and privileges and associated ownership and delegation models for complete identity lifecycle management.
· Modern Interface: Empowers business users to define roles and ownership structure through simplified navigation and a flexible data model.
· Multi-Dimensional Hierarchies (Polyarchies): Enables enterprise-wide business process automation that is reflective of real world organizational structures.
· Application-Centric Identity Management: Provides rich role and approver information to heterogeneous applications and automates business process transaction approvals across the enterprise.

Oracle Role Manager also includes these additional features:
· Event-based role services that automatically trigger entitlement changes to user provisioning and enterprise applications.
· XML-based service integration to enable more rapid integration with heterogeneous applications and middleware.
· Online Role Simulation that allows role administrators to simulate the impact of a dynamic role change before committing the change.
