New Features
NIM Profile Connector
A new connector allows Netwrix Identity Manager profiles to be managed and governed like any other application entitlement.
With this connector, you can:
- Bring NIM-generated profiles into your role model
- Apply the same governance, certification, and review processes used for other entitlements
- Manage NIM profiles across one or multiple NIM instances
This ensures that permissions originating from NIM itself are fully governed.
Modify, Edit or Remove roles via the Assigned Roles Dashboard
The Assigned Roles page was previously read-only, offering visibility into role assignments without the ability to act. It’s now fully actionable.
Because this view is role-centric, you can see all users associated with a specific role in one place — and now make changes directly from that same view.
You can now:
- Add, edit, or remove assigned roles directly from the dashboard
- Filter by role to quickly see who has been granted or denied specific access
- View granted and denied roles together for clearer decision making
These improvements simplify access reviews and make entitlement management faster and more intuitive.
New date attribute type
Netwrix Identity Manager now supports a new date-only attribute type for values that must remain consistent across time zones. This prevents unintended changes to fields such as birthdays or contract dates when viewed from different regions.
Benefits include:
- Date values are stored without any time zone adjustment
- Accurate, consistent representation of date-only fields
- Continued support for datetime fields when time precision is required
This enhancement improves the reliability of identity data in global deployments.
Enhancements
Simulation improvements
The simulation engine now shows only the changes that are directly affected by the simulated modification. It no longer displays the full set of updates that will occur during the next role model computation.
This provides clearer, more predictable simulation results and reduces noise during what-if analysis.
Certification campaign scheduling
You can now define the start time for certification campaigns. This allows campaigns to begin at a specific time of day, rather than at midnight, giving administrators better control over scheduling and notifications.
Improved audit trail for workflow approvals
Workflow approval history is now retained even if the approving user account has been deleted. This closes a compliance gap and ensures complete traceability for auditors and reviewers.
Trace actions on role reconciliation, resource reconciliation, and provisioning review
When users make changes via these pages, the user who performed the action, and when it was performed is now recorded to the database and can be queried. This closes a compliance gap and ensures complete traceability for auditors and reviewers.
Right-to-left (RTL) language support
The user interface now supports right-to-left languages, ensuring correct layout and usability for RTL locales.
Brand change: Usercube renamed to Netwrix Identity Manager
The Usercube product name has been updated to Netwrix Identity Manager (NIM). The change affects product naming only and does not alter functionality or configuration.
