Systems and methods for searching in identity management artificial intelligence systems

A method for searching identity management artifacts, comprising:

• in a sync pipeline:
• obtaining identity management data associated with one or more source systems in a distributed enterprise computing environment, the identity management data comprising data on a set of identity management artifacts utilized in identity management in the distributed enterprise computing environment, wherein the identity management artifacts include a first identity management artifact of a first type and a second identity management artifact of a second type;
• determining that the first identity management artifact of the first type is associated with the second identity management artifact of the second type;
• and
• communicating with a search service to index the identity management artifacts in the search index, including to index the first identity management artifact as a first document in the search index, to index the second identity management artifact as a second document in the search index, and to index the second identity management artifact as a nested document of the first identity management artifact;
• and
• at a search service:
• maintaining a search index for the identity management artifacts, the search index comprising a document for each of the identity management artifacts;
• and
• communicating with the sync pipeline to index the first identity management artifact as the first document in the search index by creating the first document in the search index, to index the second identity management artifact as the second document in the search index by creating the second document in the search index and to index the second identity management artifact as a nested document of the first identity management artifact by including the second document for the second identity management artifact in the first document for the first identity management artifact in the search index while separately maintaining the second document for the second identity management artifact in the search index, thereby allowing the search service to search the first identity management artifact in the search index based on the second identity management artifact by accessing the first identity management document for the first identity management artifact.

A non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising instructions for:

• in a sync pipeline:
• obtaining identity management data associated with one or more source systems in a distributed enterprise computing environment, the identity management data comprising data on a set of identity management artifacts utilized in identity management in the distributed enterprise computing environment, wherein the identity management artifacts include a first identity management artifact of a first type and a second identity management artifact of a second type;
• determining that the first identity management artifact of the first type is associated with the second identity management artifact of the second type;
• and
• communicating with a search service to index the identity management artifacts in the search index, including to index the first identity management artifact as a first document in the search index, to index the second identity management artifact as a second document in the search index, and to index the second identity management artifact as a nested document of the first identity management artifact;
• and
• at a search service:
• maintaining a search index for the identity management artifacts, the search index comprising a document for each of the identity management artifacts;
• and
• communicating with the sync pipeline to index the first identity management artifact as the first document in the search index by creating the first document in the search index, to index the second identity management artifact as the second document in the search index by creating the second document in the search index and to index the second identity management artifact as a nested document of the first identity management artifact by including the second document for the second identity management artifact in the first document for the first identity management artifact in the search index while separately maintaining the second document for the second identity management artifact in the search index, thereby allowing the search service to search the first identity management artifact in the search index based on the second identity management artifact by accessing the first identity management document for the first identity management artifact.
