Single Pane of Glass Meaning
In Identity and Access Management (IAM), a "single pane of glass" refers to a unified and centralized interface that provides administrators with a comprehensive view and control over various aspects of identity and access within an organization.
It aims to consolidate and simplify management tasks, allowing administrators to oversee user identities, access permissions, and security policies from a single, cohesive dashboard.
This streamlined approach enhances efficiency, reduces complexity, and improves the overall management of identity and access across an organization's IT infrastructure.
IDHub Single Pane Of Glass
IDHub offers two tool modules, located on the dashboard for a single pane of glass view.
- User Tools Module - accessible to all IDHub Users
- Administrator Tools Module - only accessible to users assigned the Role "System Administrator" or “Access Manager”
In this image we can see the dashboard of a System Admin, who has access to Admin and User Modules.
A user without admin permissions, will not have access to Admin Tools.
Central Resource Catalog
IDHub displays all requestable resources, from different Identity Management Systems, on one central place, called the Search Catalog page.
Use Roles to assign specific security permissions, which limit user access to only what they need for their specific job.
A single pane of glass system with Single Sign-On capabilities is part of a perfect Identity and Access Management System.
IDHub is unique in this way, offering a single pane of glass, and single sign-on capabilities, by using the SSO function with the Keycloak App.
