NetIQ Documentation: Novell Identity Manager Role Mapping Administrator 4.0.2 User Guide

2.3 Creating Role Resource Mappings

The resources are created for the Identity Vault roles when the connected system authorizations are synchronized between the Role Mapping Administrator and the RBPM database.

If the Role Mapping Administrator and the RBPM entitlements are not synchronized and RBPM has the most recent entitlements, it is likely that the entitlements are not present in the managed system. The Role Mapping Administrator does not create mappings and prompts you to refresh the Authorizations list in the Role Mapping Administrator. You can select the entitlements to synchronize, then click Synchronize Now to fetch the entitlements from the managed system.
If the Role Mapping Administrator has the most recent entitlements, it creates mapping and prompts you to refresh the Authorizations list in the RBPM.
