Many clients want to be notified when their thresholds are hit for the source and target systems. However, the only means of notifying them is by triggering an email on the error state of a sync. There is no distinct "threshold reached" event that we can trigger on, which makes our notifications more vague than they ought to be. It would be great to have such an event that we could use to trigger an email notification.

Use Case: Define a filter that returns all Active Employees. Now, for the corresponding 'Inactive Employee AD Accounts' filter, instead of defining the inverse of all the Active conditions, just target all the relevant accounts (ie: AD, EmployeeType == Employee, etc). Add a Lookup Exclude against the 'Active Employee' filter using the EmployeeID named, with the Lookup named 'Inactive Employee Accounts'. This functionality would allow us to more quickly implement filters that have both a set of Grant and Revoke criteria that are just inverse of each other.

It's no fun getting evaluation reports every hour that show zero changes to be made. An option to only send evaluation reports when there are changes to be made in the target systems would be nice.

Some organizations want to be fully hosted in the cloud for various reasons. Providing a hosted solution for NIM could be benefical to these organizations.

The ability to categorize apps in the interface would be helpful. Also, the ability for users to favorite an app so it always shows at the top would be helpful as well. E.g. local IT always does app X and rather than searching for it each time as we make new apps available it would always show up at the beginning of the available apps.

Action for mapping event is only triggered when Mapping is processed in a Job, but not when "Run selected item" is used manually in Mapping. It should be triggered either way to allow for email notification of changes.

To protect NIM configuration natively, we should provide the ability to schedule automatically backups. This is beneficial when there are multiple NIM Administrators making configuration changes and often forget to back up their configuration.

A client has built a filter with lookups that are available and working in some areas such as 'Mappings' but not available when selecting filters in 'Events' > 'Templates'. The filter is available, but not the lookups. Screenshots attached.

Provide the ability to define characters that should not be include in the random password generator

NIM currently supports only two access levels: FULL or APPS-only. It would be helpful to have an "admin light" security level for junior admins to manage existing source syncs and run existing schedules/jobs when needed, but not be able to make changes to role model, mappings, filters, or what-have-you.

There are instances in apps where we need to call scripts/commands outside the capability of NIM. E.g. running DACLS.exe when generating a new OU in AD to configure permissions, or custom PowerShell scripts that perform actions outside the scope of NIM.

Provide the option to attach files to mail templates. Perhaps we can provide the ability to specify an attachment(s) by specifying a path, filter or audit query.

A proposed idea within the Role Model is to provide a feature for Segregation of Duties. I picture this to work where within a Role you can define another Role that cannot be used. For example if you have a Role Model with 3 Roles (Employee, HR, Payroll). Within the HR Role you say they cannot be part of the Payroll Role. This ensures an HR Employee can't be a Payroll Employee as well. Or you use an analogy, the Person approving the funds cannot also write the checks.

We need to have scheduling exclusions available on scheduled jobs. This is needed so you can not process a schedule during maintenance hours or for other reasons. It should operate much like UMRA did in the past

It would be beneficial to protect a system collection so the retention job does not remove it. It could be for various purposes listed below Legal Purposes Data can't be refreshed Investigation Maybe also an option to tell the retention job to always keep the last collection.
