Mine existing group memberships
Role discovery
Use existing group memberships to find a starting group-to-role fit, then review and refine it in the development role model.
Role mining is most useful when target groups already contain members. It compares their memberships with roles in the development model and proposes the fit that requires the fewest membership changes.

Go to Output > Roles > Role Mining and add or edit a miner. Select the target system and its user-to-group relationship. Optionally choose a group-selection filter to limit the groups considered.

On Groups, select the groups to analyze and select Mine. Review each group's Distance—the number of membership adds and removals required if the proposed fit is executed. A distance of 0 is a perfect fit.

Review the proposed roles for each group, adjust included roles as needed, then select Apply and Save to write the result to the development role model.
Mining is a starting point, not an approval decision. Review every proposed group-to-role association before activating the model.
