Managing assignments of SharePoint Online groups and roles

User accounts inherit SharePoint Online permissions through SharePoint Online roles and SharePoint Online groups. SharePoint Online groups are always defined for one site collection in this way. SharePoint Online roles are defined for sites. They are assigned to groups, and the user accounts that are members of these groups inherit SharePoint Online permissions through them. SharePoint Online roles can also be assigned directly to user accounts. User account permissions on individual sites in a site collection are restricted through the SharePoint Online roles that are assigned to it.

In SharePoint Online, the users can have different entitlements that are mapped in One Identity Manager as follows:

  • Entitlement for the use of SharePoint Online groups (O3SGroup table)

  • Entitlement for the use of SharePoint Online roles (O3SRLAsgn)

Terms

  • A SharePoint Online Role is the permission level linked to a fixed site.

  • The assignment of user account or groups to a SharePoint Online role is called a role assignment.

  • Entitlement assignments refer to the assignment of the various entitlements to user accounts. These include:

    • Group assignments to user accounts (O3SUserInGroup table)

    • Role assignments to user accounts (O3SUserHasRLAsgn table)

Assigning SharePoint Online entitlements to SharePoint Online user accounts

In One Identity Manager, SharePoint Online entitlements can be assigned directly or indirectly to employees.

In the case of indirect assignment, employees and entitlements are organized in hierarchical roles. The number of entitlements assigned to an employee is calculated from the position in the hierarchy and the direction of inheritance. If the employee has a SharePoint Online user account, the entitlements are assigned to this user account.

Entitlements can also be assigned to employees through IT Shop requests. To enable the assignment of entitlements using IT Shop requests, employees are added as customers in a shop. All entitlements assigned to this shop as products can be requested by the customers. After approval is granted, requested entitlements are assigned to the employees.

You can use system roles to group entitlements together and assign them to employees as a package. You can create system roles that contain only SharePoint Online entitlements. You can also group any number of company resources into a system role.

To react quickly to special requests, you can also assign the entitlements directly to user accounts.

NOTE: If a SharePoint Online role refers to a permission level for which the Hidden option is set, no business roles and organizations can be assigned. These SharePoint Online roles can be neither directly nor indirectly assigned to user accounts or groups.

NOTE: There are other configuration settings that play a role when company resources are inherited through departments, cost centers, locations, and business roles. For example, role inheritance might be blocked or inheritance of employees not allowed.
