IDEAS Enterprise Entitlement Server allows to centralize entitlement administration and entitlement resolution. Enterprise applications may then fully delegate user authorization to a scalable enterprise service.

IDEAS entitlement model is very general. Virtually any authorization model, including rule-based, role-based and attribute-based entitlements are supported by the model.

IDEAS' Enterprise Entitlement Server fulfills the requirements for enterprise authorization with these features:

• Fine-grained contextual entitlement model
• Browser-based, graphical UI for managing entitlement policies
• Supports both per-application policies, and enterprise-wide policies for multiple applications
• Support for delegated administration
• Distributed and clusterable architecture
• Complete reporting, auditing and monitoring facilities

Advantages:

• A single authorization model for the enterprise is more manageable.
• A single administration for authorizations is more efficient and more transparent.
• Authorization management is correctly segregated from application management, and is under the control of the responsible business entities.
• Reporting, auditing and monitoring are simplified.
