About this guide

The One Identity Manager Administration Guide for Privileged Account Governance describes how you set up synchronization of One Identity Safeguard with One Identity Manager. You will discover, which user accounts, user groups, assets, asset groups, accounts, account groups, directories, entitlements, and access request policies of a Privileged Account Management system are mapped in One Identity Manager.

This guide is intended for end users, system administrators, consultants, analysts, and any other IT professionals using the product.

NOTE: This guide describes One Identity Manager functionality available to the default user. It is possible that not all the functions described here are available to you. This depends on your system configuration and permissions.

Available documentation

You can access One Identity Manager documentation in the Manager and in the Designer by selecting the Help > Search menu item. The online version of One Identity Manager documentation is available in the Support portal under Technical Documentation. You will find videos with additional information at www.YouTube.com/OneIdentity.

Managing a Privileged Account Management system in One Identity Manager

One Identity Manager offers simplified user account administration for a Privileged Account Management system. One Identity Manager concentrates on setting up and editing user accounts and assigning the user accounts to user groups. Through their user groups, the user accounts receive the required entitlements, for example, for requesting a password for an asset account or a session for the accounts and assets in the Privileged Account Management system. The assignment of entitlements to user groups is not performed in One Identity Manager but in the Privileged Account Management. User groups and requests for passwords and sessions can be requested through the Web Portal.

One Identity Manager provides company employees with the user accounts required to allow you to use different mechanisms for connecting employees to their user accounts. You can also manage user accounts independently of employees and therefore set up administrator user accounts.

The user accounts, user groups, assets, asset groups, accounts, account groups, directories, entitlements, and access request policies of a One Identity Manager systems are mapped in Privileged Account Management. These objects are imported into the One Identity Manager database during synchronization. This makes it possible to use Identity and Access Governance processes such as attesting, identity audit, user account management and system entitlements, IT Shop, or report subscriptions for Privileged Account Management systems.

NOTE: The Privileged Account Governance Module must be installed as a prerequisite for managing Privileged Account Management systems in One Identity Manager. For more information about installing, see the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.

Architecture overview

To access the data of a Privileged Account Management system, a connector for the Privileged Account Management system is installed on a synchronization server. The synchronization server ensures data is compared between the One Identity Manager database and the Privileged Account Management system.

One Identity Manager supports synchronization with One Identity Safeguard. The One Identity Safeguard connector of the One Identity Manager uses Windows PowerShell for communication with the One Identity Safeguard appliance.
