Exploring Entitlement Data

Once you locate an entity you are interested in, select it to see more details in the right-hand pane. While the top part displays general information such as the name, descriptions, class, and owner, the bottom section changes depending on the type of entitlement data you want to see for this particular object.

Filtering Results

To narrow down the list of the entities in the bottom section, use filtering. You can either leverage a quick filter (e.g., full control) or create a custom filter and search for specific attributes.

To build a custom filter:

The filter clause contains a field name, a matching condition, and a value. It defines a query to look for.

OPTION

DESCRIPTION

Field name

Pick a filter from the drop-down. The filter corresponds to the attribute you are searching for. For example, CN or adminCount.

Condition

Select a condition from a drop-down. Available conditions vary depending on the attribute you choose in the Filter name section.

Select these conditions,

  • if you are looking for an exact entry (equals)

  • if you are looking for an entry containing the searched value (contains)

  • if you are searching for an entry that starts with or ends with a certain value.

  • if you are looking for opposite values such as does not start with and does not contain

  • if you are looking for any value (exists)

Specific attributes allow other conditions.

Value

The value field is the area where you specify a value to be searched. Depending on the filter name, you can select a value from the drop-down list or enter it manually.

Create complex report queries with multiple filter clauses, organized with logical AND/OR operators. To add a new clause, start selecting the filter name in the empty clause section.

By default, Cygna Entitlement and Security returns data that matches all filter clauses at once (logical AND). You can change this behavior and instruct the product to return records that match at least one filter clause (logical OR). To do it, switch the toggle to the off position.

Additionally, you can organize filters into groups. To do it, click on the orange + to add a clause within a group where you can set a specific logic too.

In result, you can create a filter query such '[Clause 1 OR Clause 2] AND Clause 3' or '[Clause 1 AND Clause 2] OR [Clause 3 AND Clause 4]'.
