Which user capability is critical in User Mapping?

In the context of User Mapping within CyberArk Privileged Access Security, the capability to define user attributes is fundamental. This is because user mapping entails associating users with their respective roles, permissions, and the resources they can access within the system. By precisely defining user attributes, such as roles, departments, or authentication methods, organizations can ensure that the right individuals have appropriate access to sensitive information and systems.

Accurate user attributes facilitate effective access control, streamline compliance reporting, and help mitigate security risks by enabling precise access management. When user attributes are clearly defined, it enables the CyberArk system to enforce policies and govern user activities in a way that aligns with organizational security protocols.

The other options, while important aspects of user management within CyberArk, do not directly contribute to the User Mapping process as defining user attributes does. Logging of user activities is primarily for monitoring and auditing, changing user roles pertains to modifying permissions without the necessary alignment to user attributes, and viewing other users' permissions is a matter of information access rather than the fundamental capability required for effective user mapping.
