The following basic information is relevant for building up hierarchical roles in One Identity Manager.
-
Configuration parameters
Use configuration parameters to configure the behavior of the system's basic settings. One Identity Manager provides default settings for different configuration parameters. Check the configuration parameters and modify them as necessary to suit your requirements.
Configuration parameters are defined in the One Identity Manager modules. Each One Identity Manager module can also install configuration parameters. In the Designer, you can find an overview of all configuration parameters in the Base data > General > Configuration parameters category.
-
Role classes
Role classes form the basis of mapping hierarchical roles in One Identity Manager. Role classes are used to group similar roles together.
-
Role types
Create role types in order to classify roles. Roles types can be used to map roles in the user interface, for example.
-
Functional areas
To analyze rule checks for different areas of your company in the context of identity audit, you can set up functional areas. Functional areas can be assigned to roles. You can enter criteria that provide information about risks from rule violations for functional areas and roles. Moreover, functional areas can be used during peer group analysis of requests or attestation cases.
-
Attestors
In One Identity Manager you can assign departments, cost centers, and locations to employees who can be brought in as attestors in attestation cases, provided that the approval workflow is set up accordingly. To do this, assign the departments, cost centers, and locations to application roles for attestors. For more information about attestation, see the One Identity Manager Attestation Administration Guide.
A default application role for attestors is available in One Identity Manager. You may create other application roles as required. For more information about application roles, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.

Role classes form the basis of mapping hierarchical roles in One Identity Manager. Role classes are used to group similar roles together. The direction of inheritance is specified by the role class. In addition, assignments that are allowed to be made to individual roles of this role class are specified in a role class.
The following role classes are provided by default for mapping organizations in One Identity Manager:
-
Department
-
Cost center
-
Location
Top down inheritance is defined for departments, cost centers, locations, and application roles. Employees, devices, workdesks, and company resource assignments are predefined for departments, cost centers, and locations. You can edit these role class assignments.
