What is the role of the Vault permission Manage Directory Mapping?

The role of the Vault permission Manage Directory Mapping is centered on the ability to add, update, and remove directory maps specifically for transparent user management. This permission allows an administrator to establish clear mappings between directory services and the CyberArk Vault, which helps streamline authentication and authorization processes for users accessing the vault.

Effective directory mapping is essential to ensure that users can be seamlessly managed, particularly in environments where user identities come from various directory sources. By being able to modify these mappings, administrators can ensure that users are appropriately authenticated and authorized based on their directory information. This capability minimizes the potential for errors and overlaps in user permissions, enhancing security and operational efficiency.

The other options do not encompass the main function associated with the Manage Directory Mapping permission. For example, managing user roles in the vault or modifying network access settings involves different aspects of vault administration, while adding or removing directory maps for network areas does not fully capture the broader scope and transparent management purpose of directory mapping.
