Issue
The example below is input from a CSV file. We'll focus on the %_User filter on the third line below:
ApplicationRole,Perforce,FALSE,%_Admin,,"short desc for any admin perforce role","long desc for any admin perforce role"
ApplicationRole,Perforce,FALSE,%_Approver,,"short desc for any approvers perforce role","long desc for any approvers perforce role"
ApplicationRole,Perforce,FALSE,%_User,,"short desc for any users perforce role","long desc for any users perforce role"
When importing the above file:
Notice the filter %_User applied the descriptions to an application role with User in the name but no underscore. "Depot User" had the the descriptions applied incorrectly. They were applied correctly for Master_Num1_User.
Resolution
If you are using an XML import for your business descriptions, instead of through the UI or a CSV file, you will need to replace the _ in the filter with #_ for it to match properly. The underscore needs to be escaped with a #. This work around will only work in the fixed versions of RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle.
