## Purpose

Utilities are additional tools shipped with the ConfigCompare Platform. They address specialised scenarios and are not always directly linked to Comparison. One utility is currently available; further utilities, including external deployment of security setup extraction with Power BI integration, are planned (see Chapter 26: Roadmap (https://configcompare.com/reference/26-roadmap/)).

## Platform utilities

### Azure Insights for User Access Footprint

Azure Insights provides visibility into how ERP security configuration maps to actual user access patterns. It identifies mismatches between security setup and observed user behaviour, enabling organisations to understand the access users are granted and the access they actually use.

This supports evidence-based security review and optimisation of licence requirements by identifying users with access permissions they do not actively use.
