Specifying mutually exclusive application roles
It is possible that employees cannot own certain system roles at the same time. Thus, for example, exception approvers for rule violations may not be rule supervisors at the same time. To implement this behavior, you can specify mutually exclusive application roles. Then you cannot assign these application roles to the same person anymore.
NOTE: Only system roles, which are defined directly as conflicting application roles, cannot be assigned to the same employee. Definitions made on parent or child application roles do not effect the assignment.

Generating assignment resources for application roles
It is possible to create assignment resources for individual application roles. This means you can limit assignment resources to individual application roles in the Web Portal. When the assignment resource is requested, it is no longer necessary to select the application role as well. The application role is automatically a part of the assignment request. For detailed information about assignment requests, see the One Identity Manager IT Shop Administration Guide.
To limit an assignment resource to one application role
-
In the Manager, in the One Identity Manager Administration category, select the Application role.
-
Select the Create assignment resource task.
