Suggestions for Role and Group configurations

We are getting quite a large amount of users and groups on our controller, and we are starting to run into issues with user access. We are currently using SAML integration with Okta which is fed from our internal AD. I would like to be able to have a role for each application or group of applications and then be able to put a user into whichever AD groups represent the roles which have permissions for the apps that user needs, however it seems that the SAML integration only passes one group along, so that won't work.

I'm curious to know what others are using for their RBAC configuration who are also using AD and Okta (or perhaps another SAML provider).

Please refer the following document. 

https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO44/SAML+Authentication#SAMLAuthentication-map_usersMappingSA...

  • Singular Group Values: The response contains an AttributeValue element with a single group-mapping value. 
  • Multiple Nested Group Values: The response contains more than one AttributeValue element, each with a single group-mapping value.
  • Singular Delimited Group Value: The response contains a single AttributeValue element with multiple, delimiter-separated group-mapping values. 
  • Regex on Singular Group Value: The response contains a single AttributeValue element from which you want to extract the group-mapping value with a regular expression.  

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Michael

we have similar integration with onelogin and we were able to make users part of mutiple rolegroups\AD groups.

Apart from this I have a question , do you analytics , server monitoring , DB monitoring if yes how are you planning RBAC for each app teams?
