OpenText Identity and Access Management - OpenText Magellan Risk Guard Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between OpenText Identity and Access Management and OpenText Magellan Risk Guard

OpenText Identity and Access Management secures user authentication, single sign-on, and role-based access across OpenText environments, while OpenText Magellan Risk Guard identifies sensitive, risky, or non-compliant content in unstructured data and supports remediation workflows. Together, they can strengthen governance by ensuring the right people can access the right risk findings, approvals, and remediation actions at the right time.

1. Role-Based Access to Risk Findings and Case Workflows

Use OpenText Identity and Access Management to control who can view, investigate, or act on Magellan Risk Guard findings based on job role, region, or business unit. For example, compliance analysts can access all flagged content, while legal reviewers only see cases assigned to their department.
