SharePoint OnlineGroup inheritance based on categories
In One Identity Manager,
Every user account can be assigned to one or more categories. Each group can also be assigned to one or more categories. The group is inherited by the user account when at least one user account category item matches an assigned group. The group is also inherited by the user account if the group or the user account is not put into categories.
|
|
NOTE: Inheritance through categories is only taken into account when groups are assigned indirectly through hierarchical roles. Categories are not taken into account when groups are directly assigned to user accounts. |
| Category Position | Categories for User Accounts | Categories for Groups |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Default user | Default permissions |
| 2 | System user | System user permissions |
| 3 | System administrator | System administrator permissions |

SharePoint Online tenants
A SharePoint Online tenant is the base object of a SharePoint Online environment. It must have a direct relationship to an Azure Active Directory organization. There is only one tenant for each connected SharePoint Online system.
SharePoint Online tenants are required for the configuration of provisioning processes, the automatic assignment of employees to user accounts, and the inheritance of groups by user accounts via categories within a SharePoint Online.
|
|
Note: SharePoint Online tenants cannot be created in One Identity Manager. The Synchronization Editor sets up the SharePoint Online tenant in the One Identity Manager database. |
