OpenText Magellan Text Mining Engine - OpenText Directory Services Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between OpenText Magellan Text Mining Engine and OpenText Directory Services

1. Role-Based Access Control for Sensitive Text Analytics

Data flow: OpenText Directory Services to OpenText Magellan Text Mining Engine

Synchronize users, groups, and roles from OpenText Directory Services into Magellan so access to text mining projects, document collections, and analytic outputs is controlled by business role. For example, legal reviewers can access case files, compliance officers can access regulatory investigations, and intelligence analysts can access restricted source material.

Business value: Reduces unauthorized access risk, simplifies permission management, and ensures sensitive unstructured content is only visible to approved teams.

2. Automated Assignment of Review Work Based on Directory Groups

Data flow: OpenText Directory Services to OpenText Magellan Text Mining Engine

Use directory group membership to automatically assign text analytics review queues, investigation tasks, or document triage work. When a user is added to a specific directory group, Magellan can route relevant cases or extracted findings to that user?s team without manual reconfiguration.

Business value: Improves operational efficiency, speeds up case handling, and reduces administrative overhead for supervisors and system administrators.

3. Investigator and Analyst Onboarding for New Projects

Data flow: OpenText Directory Services to OpenText Magellan Text Mining Engine

When a new analyst, investigator, or legal reviewer is created in OpenText Directory Services, their identity and group membership can be provisioned into Magellan automatically. This supports rapid onboarding for time-sensitive matters such as litigation holds, fraud investigations, or regulatory inquiries.

Business value: Shortens onboarding time, ensures consistent access setup, and helps teams start work faster on high-priority cases.

4. Centralized Deprovisioning of Access to Text Mining Projects

Data flow: OpenText Directory Services to OpenText Magellan Text Mining Engine

When an employee leaves the organization or changes roles, updates in OpenText Directory Services can trigger immediate removal of access to Magellan workspaces, datasets, and reports. This is especially important for legal, risk, and intelligence teams handling confidential content.

Business value: Strengthens security, supports compliance with access control policies, and reduces the risk of lingering access after role changes.

5. Department-Specific Analytics Views and Output Distribution

Data flow: Bi-directional

Directory Services can provide department and group context to Magellan so analytics outputs are tagged and distributed to the correct business units. In return, Magellan can publish findings to user groups defined in Directory Services, such as compliance, legal, or fraud operations teams.

Business value: Ensures the right insights reach the right stakeholders, improves collaboration across teams, and avoids manual report routing.

6. Secure Multi-Team Investigation Collaboration

Data flow: OpenText Directory Services to OpenText Magellan Text Mining Engine

For large investigations, Magellan can use directory-based group structures to separate access between lead investigators, subject matter experts, and external reviewers. Each group can be granted different permissions to view source documents, extracted entities, or case summaries.

Business value: Enables controlled collaboration across departments while maintaining strict information boundaries and auditability.

7. Audit-Ready User and Access Reporting for Compliance Reviews

Data flow: OpenText Magellan Text Mining Engine to OpenText Directory Services

Magellan can analyze access-related logs, review comments, and investigation notes to identify patterns such as repeated access requests, unusual review activity, or policy exceptions. These insights can be aligned with directory records to support compliance audits and internal control reviews.

Business value: Improves visibility into who accessed what and why, supports audit preparation, and helps compliance teams detect process gaps.

8. Dynamic Access Segmentation for High-Risk Content Collections

Data flow: OpenText Directory Services to OpenText Magellan Text Mining Engine

Use directory attributes such as location, business unit, or clearance level to segment access to high-risk content collections in Magellan. For example, only users in a specific risk or legal group can access documents flagged by text mining as containing privileged, confidential, or regulated information.

Business value: Improves governance over sensitive content, supports data minimization principles, and reduces exposure to regulated or privileged material.
