14.1 About the Identity Reporting Module

The Identity Reporting Module gives you the ability to generate reports that show information about various aspects of your Identity Manager configuration, including information collected from one or more Identity Vaults or Managed Systems. The reporting module provides a set of predefined report definitions you can use to generate reports. In addition, it gives the option to import custom reports defined in a third-party tool.

You can access the reporting module directly or launch it from the Work Dashboard within the User Application. If you want to be able to launch it from the Work Dashboard, you need to have your Configuration Administrator specify the URL for the reporting module on the Administration tab. The Configuration Administrator needs to specify the URL in the Novell Identity Manager Reporting Module URL field within the Provisioning UI Display Settings page. In addition, you need to have the Access Reporting Module navigation permission. The Report Administrator is given this permission by default.
