Currently if we want to make apps, like the Onboarding Portal for example, accessible on the internet we have to make our entire NIM server, with all of it's PII and sensitive data, accessible on the internet. Their needs to be an option to run the Apps on a separate server that can be placed in the DMZ and leave the server with the data behind the firewall.

It would be nice to be able to structure & reorder roles either through folders, or child roles akin to filters.

Organizations need the option brand NIM to help users know they are in the right place. Apps currently give you a level of that today but it needs to be expanded. The following elements should be considered. Change logo in the top right of AppsChange logo on login pageAbility to turn on/off "I forgot my password" link on login pageOption to change "I forgot my password" link on login page.Ability to add custom text to the login page (markdown support)Option to change label and placeholder text for field on login pageOption to change background for login page

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.

We would like a feature-rich SQL editor to be added to NIM, particularly when working with the various Systems and Tables. It is difficult to only have the single line for each System Query's SQL Statement, necessitating the use of an external text editor to copy/paste which often loses formatting (besides the simple fact that copy and pasting back and forth is not the most efficient way to work) - it also leads to errors. It would be great to have a formal SQL editor which would not only allow multi-line view but also the ability to format, highlight, color, etc. - all of which would help us with troubleshooting problems and avoiding errors because of the difficulty we currently encounter. Having an integrated SQL editor would be extremely helpful for our workflow, and it would allow us to do so much more than we are able to at present.

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 do an if/else would greatly simplify some processing arcs. Example: All staff gets X group, unless they fit specific parameters, in which case they get Y group. It could be done as part of the role, by adding a "does not meet" option where one role is positive, and if negative is processed differently. The situations we run into are not cut and dried enough to do a full processing filter for both situations, we always wind up with duplicates due to requirements. Our primary reason we have needed this in the past is for our licensing groups for different vendors which do not do the "best offered applied" and instead use a "first applied" model. Right now we are using SQL queries to add a field into our personnel sources.

Ability to read CSV from Sharepoint as a Source System.

Provide an integration with Paycor

Emails are sent from a non-existent/unmonitored account but replies should go somewhere.

This would allow employees to be created in Paycor and then synced to our ERP and then created with the help of NIM into AD and Google Workspace Systems.

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.

Allow a temporary increase to thresholds in jobs. I have seen several customer NIM environments recently where they had adjusted the job thresholds to allow for the spike in enrollment changes at the beginning of the school year. It was set to really high number and they had forgotten to set it back to a modest number. In one instance, the customer had ALL of their employee's Google groups removed.

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.

There would be some potential benefit in having an Admin Dashboard when you login to the NIM Studio. Essentially providing an overall health status for the service.
