Active Directory contacts

A contact is a non-security principal. That means a contact cannot log into a domain. A contact, for example, represents a user outside the company and is mainly used for distribution and email purposes.

Creating and editing Active Directory contacts

A contact can be connected to an employee in One Identity Manager. You can also manage contacts separately from employees.

NOTE:

  • It is recommended to use account definitions to set up contacts for company employees. If an account definition is used to set up a contact, some of the main data described in the following is composed of the employee’s main data using templates. The amount of data, in this case, is based on the default manage level of the account definitions. The templates supplied should be customized as required.

  • If employees receive their contacts through account definitions, the employees must have a central user account and obtain their IT operating data through assignment to a primary department, primary location or a primary cost center.

To create and edit a contact

  1. In the Manager, select the Active Directory > Contacts category.

  2. Select the contact in the result list and run the Change main data task.

    - OR -

    Click in the result list.
