Specifying server functions
NOTE: All editing options are also available in the Designer under Base Data > Installation > Job server.
The server function defines the functionality of a server in One Identity Manager. One Identity Manager processes are handled with respect to the server function.
NOTE: More server functions may be available depending on which modules are installed.

Target system managers
A default application role exists for the target system manager in One Identity Manager. Assign the employees who have permission to edit all SharePoint farms in One Identity Manager to this application role.
Define additional application roles if you want to limit the permissions for target system managers to individual SharePoint farms. The application roles must be added under the default application role.
For detailed information about implementing and editing application roles, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.
Implementing application roles for target system managers
-
The One Identity Manager administrator allocates employees to be target system administrators.
-
These target system administrators add employees to the default application role for target system managers.
Target system managers with the default application role are authorized to edit all the SharePoint farms in One Identity Manager.
-
Target system managers can authorize other employees within their area of responsibility as target system managers and if necessary, create additional child application roles and assign these to individual SharePoint farms.
Table 10: Default application roles for target system managers
Target system managers
|
Target system managers must be assigned to the Target systems | SharePoint application role or a child application role.
Users with this application role:
-
Assume administrative tasks for the target system.
-
Create, change, or delete target system objects.
-
Edit password policies for the target system.
-
Prepare system entitlements to add to the IT Shop.
-
Can add employees who have another identity than the Primary identity.
-

-
Edit the synchronization's target system types and outstanding objects.
-
Authorize other employees within their area of responsibility as target system managers and create child application roles if required. |

Setting up account definitions
One Identity Manager has account definitions for automatically allocating user accounts to employees. You can create account definitions for every target system. If an employee does not yet have a user account in a target system, a new user account is created. This is done by assigning account definitions to an employee.
The data for the user accounts in the respective target system comes from the basic employee data. The assignment of the IT operating data to the employee’s user account is controlled through the primary assignment of the employee to a location, a department, a cost center, or a business role. Processing is done through templates. There are predefined templates for determining the data required for user accounts included in the default installation. You can customize templates as required.
For detailed information about account definitions, see the One Identity Manager Target System Base Module Administration Guide.
NOTE: Only
SharePoint user accounts that are not marked as a group can be created with account definitions (
IsDomainGroup = 'false'). However, it is recommended to create
SharePoint user accounts based on target system groups. Only use account definitions for
SharePoint if you are not following standard procedure.
For more information, see SharePoint user accounts.
The following steps are required to implement an account definition:
Creating an account definition
To create or edit an account definition
-
In the Manager, select the SharePoint > Basic configuration data > Account definitions > Account definitions category.
- Select an account definition in the result list. Select the Change main data task.
-OR-
Click in the result list.
- Enter the account definition's main data.
- Save the changes.
