Abstract
Methods and systems for understanding identity and organizational access to applications within an enterprise environment are provided. Exemplary methods include collecting data about relationships between applications and metadata associated with the applications in a computing environment of an enterprise, the metadata including information concerning a plurality of users accessing the applications; updating a graph database including nodes representing the applications of the computing environment of the enterprise and edges representing relationships between the applications; enriching the graph database by associating the nodes with metadata associated with the applications and associating user accounts with metadata associated with roles, organizations membership, privileges, and permissions; analyzing the graph database to identify a subset of nodes being accessed by a user of the plurality of users; and displaying, via a graphical user interface, a graphical representation of the subset of nodes and relationships between the nodes in the subset of the nodes.
