It’s a common scenario for companies that have implemented SAP NetWeaver Identity Management (SAP NetWeaver ID Management): The business asks IT administrators to provide reporting on users, roles, and system assignments.

But now, with the right reporting capabilities hooked into your identity management functionality, you can more quickly and easily pull detailed reports to help determine who provisioned users and roles, into which systems, and when it all happened.
