I am getting a lot of requests to see if it is possible to compare objects either within a domain (User 1.domainA.com | User 2.domainA.com) or across managed domains (User 1.domainA.com | User 2.domainB.com) so that if a user is being created or modified to match another user (not using clone) they can verify on a left and right style layout. That or if a user is being created in Domain A and needs to be created in Domain B the same way they can make sure without multiple windows.

Thank you for this submission. At this time we do not plan to modify the UI in this manner but please provide additional information for this use case to understand why cloning may be deficient to support your requirement.
Because this is not always an issue with cloning. Sometimes its "why does user A have the ability to do X but user B doesn't" an ability to do a side by side comparison of users would give you the ability to look at that. Verification of groups would be another use case. Domain Admins in Domain A has users XYZ, side by side view of Domain Admins in Domain B to make sure they have users XYZ as well. This is more a useful feature request for existing objects rather than new ones which we provision with IDM to grant similar group memberships. Once they are in prod for a while it would make identifying variances through manual changes easier.
Hope this helps.
Yes, this helps explain the request, thanks. This will be reviewed during our next Ideas team discussion to re-evaluate based on your additional comments.
This is a valid request that we accept. We will consider this after we release DRA 9.2 and recommend that we discuss this with you to clarify the options that we are considering.
Even offering the ability to open the properties as a pop up or in a new window and that way I can open multiple object properties in different windows to compare.
This can be accomplished by having 2 separate tabs open to compare objects.
Our organization uses a competitor's product to manage a separate domain. This product offers the ability to easily compare two users. It would be a nice feature to have in DRA.
