Attesting new users

Attestation of new users is divided into three use cases by One Identity Manager:

  1. Registration of new external users logging in to the Web Portal.

  2. Adding new employees in the Manager or using a manager in the Web Portal.

  3. Adding a new employee by importing employee main data.

The result of attestation is the same in all three cases.

  • Certified, activated employees who can access all entitlements assigned to them in One Identity Manager and the connected target systems.

    Company resources are inherited. Account definitions are assigned to internal employees.

    - OR -

  • Denied and permanently deactivated employees.

    Disable employees cannot log in to One Identity Manager tools. Company resources are not inherited. Account definitions are not automatically assigned. User accounts associated with the employee are also locked or deleted. You can customize the behavior to meet your requirements.

Self-registration of new users in the Web Portal

Users who are not yet registered have the option to register themselves to use the Web Portal. These users can log in to the Web Portal once a manager has attested the user's main data and the set the user's password. This adds an external employee to the One Identity Manager database.

Attestation sequence:

  1. The user logs in to the Web Portal for the first time and enters the required properties.

    A new employee object is added to the One Identity Manager database with properties:

    Email address to send the verification link to.

    Permanently deactivated

    Set

    No inheritance

    Set

  2. Attestation is started automatically.

    Attestation policy used: New user certification

    NOTE: The attestation only starts automatically if the QER | Attestation | UserApproval configuration parameter is set. Otherwise the new user remains permanently deactivated until a manager changes the employee main data manually.
  3. Attestors are found.

    Effective approval policy: Certification of users

  4. If the QER | Attestation | ApproveNewExternalUsers configuration parameter is set and the value is 1, attestation of members of the Identity & Access Governance | Attestation | Attestors for external users is submitted.

    1. If an attestor for external users denies the attestation, the attestation case is closed. The employee object's properties are updated in the database.

      No inheritance

      Set

      Company resources are not inherited.

    2. If an attestor for external users approves attestation, an email with a verification link is sent to the new user.

    NOTE: If the QER | Attestation | ApproveNewExternalUsers configuration parameter is not set or the value is 0, an email with a verification link is sent immediately to the new user.

  5. Once the user has followed the link and a password and a password question have been set, the attestation case is approved. The employee object's properties are updated in the database.

    No inheritance

    Not set

    Company resources are inherited.

The default is 4 hours. If logging in to the Password Reset Portal fails because the timeout has expired, the user can ask for a new verification link to be sent.

If the user does not complete registration with 24 hours, the attestation case quits. To register anyway, the user must log in again to the Web Portal from the beginning.

Adding new employees using a manager or employee administrator

You can also attest new users if new employees are added in the Manager or if a manager in the Web Portal adds a new employees. Specify the required behavior with the configuration parameter QER | Attestation | UserApproval | InitialApprovalState. This configuration parameter has the default value 0. This gives each new employee the certification status Certified. Automatic attestation is not carried out.

To automatically attest new users

  • In the Designer, enable the QER | Attestation | UserApproval | InitialApprovalState configuration parameter and set the value to 1.

    All employees added to the database from this point on are given the certification status New. This means automatic attestation of these employees is carried out.

The sequence is different for internal and external employees.

Attestation sequence:

  1. Enter the new user's main data and assign a manager to them.

    For detailed information about adding employees, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide and the One Identity Manager Web Designer Web Portal User Guide.

    The certification status corresponds to the value of the QER | Attestation | UserApproval | InitialApprovalState configuration parameter. If the configuration parameter has the value 1, certification status is set to New.

    The employee is activated by default. They can therefore log in to One Identity Manager immediately. To ensure that the employee cannot log in to One Identity Manager until their main data has been attested, deactivate the employee.

    • To do this, run the Deactivate person permanently task.

  2. Once the employee main data has been saved, attestation starts.

    Attestation policy used: New user certification

  3. Attestors are found.

    Effective approval policy: Certification of users

  4. If the External option is set for the employee:

    Attestation takes place as described in the Self-registration of new users in the Web Portal section, steps 4 to 5.

  5. If the External option is set for the employee:
    1. One Identity Manager checks whether you have assigned a manager to the employee.
      • If you have assigned a manager to the employee, the case is immediately passed on to them for approval.

      • If you have not assigned a manager to the employee, the case is assigned to the employee administrators for approval.

    2. An employee administrator checks your main data and also assigns a manager to you.
      • The employee administrator assigns a manager and approves attestation. The attestation case is assigned to the manager for approval.

      • If the employee administrator does not assign a manager and approves attestation, the attestation case is closed. Your employee properties are updated in the database.

        User accounts are not created automatically.

    3. The manager can deny attestation approval if he is not the manager in charge of the employee.
      • The manager can assign another person as manager. The attestation case is immediately assigned to this manager.

      • If the manager does not know who your manager is, approval is returned to the employee administrators. These can

        • Assign another manager

        • Not assign another manager and grant attestation approval

        • Deny attestation approval

    4. If the manager approves attestation, the attestation case is closed. Your employee properties are updated in the database.

      Property

      Value

      Explanation

      NOTE: Only employee administrators can ultimately deny attestation approval. If a manager denies attestation, the case is returned to the employee administrators for approval in any case.

Importing new employee main data

You can request attestation of new employees if the main data is imported from other systems into the One Identity Manager database. To ensure that new employees are automatically attested, you must set the employee’s certification status to New (Person.ApprovalState = '1'). There are two possible ways to do this:

  1. The QER | Attestation | UserApproval | InitialApprovalState configuration parameter is evaluated for certification status. If the configuration parameter has the value 1, certification status is set to New.

    Prerequisite: The import does not alter the Person.ApprovalState property.

    NOTE: The QER | Attestation | UserApproval | InitialApprovalState configuration parameter has the value 0 by default. This gives each new employee the certification status Certified. Automatic attestation is not carried out.

    If you want to attest new employees immediately, change the value of the configuration parameter to 1.

  2. The import sets the Person.ApprovalState property explicitly.
    • The import sets ApprovalState='1' (New).

      The employee is automatically sent to the manager for attestation.

    • The import sets ApprovalState=’0' (Certified).

      Imported employee main data has already been authorized. It should not be attested again.

    • The import sets ApprovalState=’3' (Denied).

      The employee is deactivated permanently and is not attested.

Attestation of new users is triggered when:

  • The QER | Attestation | UserApproval configuration parameter is set

  • New employee main data was imported into the One Identity Manager database

  • The certification status for new employees is set to New

  • No Import data source is stored with the employee.

If the External option is not set for an employee, attestation takes place as described in the Adding new employees using a manager or employee administrator section, step 5.

If the External option is set for the employee, attestation takes place as described in the Self-registration of new users in the Web Portal section, steps 4 to 5.

The New user certification attestation policy is run.
