Chapter 7. Role-Based Access Control with BHOLD

Role-based access control is handled by Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM) 2016 using the BHOLD suite, which enables organizations to define roles, and to control access based upon those roles. Although we will touch upon most of the relevant topics, this chapter will not be too in-depth, as it takes time and slow steps to understand all the concepts in BHOLD. We will use the synchronization knowledge that we gained while creating MA and the FIM service knowledge to create sync rules to support the basic Role-based access control (RBAC) implementation. The analytics and model loader will not be discussed, as it can take a lot of time to go through all the knobs and switches. The core focus will be the core components that make BHOLD a valuable addition.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Role-based access control

  • Installation

  • Access Management Connector (AMC)

  • Attestation

  • Reporting

  • MIM/FIM integration
