Assigning cloud groups directly to cloud user accounts

Cloud groups can be assigned directly or indirectly to a user account. Indirect assignment is carried out by allocating the employee and groups in hierarchical roles, such as departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles. If the employee has a cloud user account, cloud groups in the hierarchical roles are inherited by this user account.

To assign groups directly to user accounts

  1. In the Manager, select the Cloud Target Systems > target system > User accounts category.

  2. Select the user account in the result list.

  3. Select the Assign groups task.

  4. In the Add assignments pane, assign the groups.

    TIP: In the Remove assignments pane, you can remove the assignment of groups.

    To remove an assignment

    • Select the group and double-click .

  5. Save the changes.

NOTE: The primary group of a user account is already assigned and is marked as Does not apply yet. Edit the user account's main data to change its primary group.

Assigning default profiles to user accounts in Salesforce applications

Cloud applications such as Salesforce require a system entitlement with a specific type to be already assigned when new user accounts are created. To this purpose, a default profile is automatically assigned to cloud user accounts when they are created in One Identity Manager.

Prerequisites
  • Synchronization of a cloud application with the SCIM connector is set up in Universal Cloud Interface. When creating the synchronization project, the target product One Identity Starling Connect was selected and the One Identity Starling Connect synchronization project template was used.

  • The target system was initially synchronized.

  • Cloud application synchronization is set up in Cloud Systems Management Module.

  • The cloud target system was initially synchronized.

  • In the canonical name or display name of the cloud target system, the string Salesforce is used.

  • There is a Cloud system entitlement 2 to be used as the default profile. The system entitlement name is entered for this system entitlement (CSMGroup2.GroupName).

To change the default profile for new user accounts

  • In the Designer, edit the value of the TargetSystem | CSM | ApplicationType | Salesforce | DefaultProfileName configuration parameter and enter the name of the system entitlement 2, which is then assigned automatically to all new user accounts.

NOTE: By default, the mapping in Universal Cloud Interface is transferred to the cloud application by the vrtProfileFirst profiles~value property mapping rule in the user mapping. If the default profile in the cloud application is stored in a different schema property, adjust the property mapping rule accordingly.

TIP: If you do not want a default profile to be automatically assigned to new user accounts, disable the TargetSystem | CSM | ApplicationType | Salesforce | DefaultProfileName configuration parameter in the Designer.

Effectiveness of membership in cloud groups

When groups are assigned to user accounts an employee may obtain two or more groups, which are not permitted in this combination. To prevent this, you can declare mutually exclusive groups. To do this, you specify which of the two groups should apply to the user accounts if both are assigned.

It is possible to assign an excluded group at any time either directly, indirectly, or with an IT Shop request. One Identity Manager determines whether the assignment is effective.

NOTE:

  • You cannot define a pair of mutually exclusive groups. That means, the definition "Group A excludes group B" AND "Group B excludes groups A" is not permitted.
  • You must declare each group to be excluded from a group separately. Exclusion definitions cannot be inherited.
  • One Identity Manager does not check if membership of an excluded group is permitted in another group (CSMGroupInGroup table).

The effectiveness of the assignments is mapped in the CSMUserInGroup/CSMUserHasGroup and CSMBaseTreeHasGroup tables by the XIsInEffect column.

Example: The effect of group memberships
  • Group A is assigned through the "Marketing" department, group B through "Finance", and group C through the "Control group" business role.

Clara Harris has a user account in this target system. She primarily belongs to the "Marketing" department. The "Control group" business role and the "Finance" department are assigned to her secondarily. Without an exclusion definition, the user account obtains all the permissions of groups A, B, and C.

By using suitable controls, you want to prevent an employee from being able to trigger a request and to pay invoices. That means, groups A, B, and C are mutually exclusive. An employee that checks invoices may not be able to make invoice payments as well. That means, groups B and C are mutually exclusive.

Group A, Group C

Only the group C assignment is in effect for Clara Harris. It is published in the target system. If Clara Harris leaves the "control group" business role at a later date, group B also takes effect.

The groups A and C are in effect for Jenny Basset because the groups are not defined as mutually exclusive. That means that the employee is authorized to trigger requests and to check invoices. If this should not be allowed, define further exclusion for group C.

Prerequisites
  • The QER | Structures | Inherite | GroupExclusion configuration parameter is set.

    In the Designer, set the configuration parameter and compile the database.

    NOTE: If you disable the configuration parameter at a later date, model components and scripts that are not longer required, are disabled. SQL procedures and triggers are still carried out. For more information about the behavior of preprocessor relevant configuration parameters and conditional compiling, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

  • Mutually exclusive groups belong to the same cloud target system.

To exclude a group

  1. In the Manager, select the Cloud Target Systems > <target system> > Groups category.

  2. Select a group in the result list.

  3. Select the Exclude groups task.

  4. In the Add assignments pane, assign the groups that are mutually exclusive to the selected group.

    - OR -

    In the Remove assignments pane, remove the groups that are no longer mutually exclusive.

  5. Save the changes.
