Assignment requests

You can also use One Identity Manager to request hierarchical roles, like departments, or business roles, through the IT Shop and assign them to employees, devices, and workdesks. This allows any number of assignments to be made through IT Shop requests. The advantage of this method is that any assignments can be authorized using an approval process. Assignment renewals and assignment recall are also subject to an approval process in the same way. The request history makes it possible to follow which assignments were requested, renewed, or canceled, why, when, and by whom.

Managers of hierarchical roles can make assignment requests for their roles.

Hierarchical role managers can view the role assignment requests they manage in the Web Portal. Use the QER | ITShop | ShowClosedAssignmentOrders configuration parameter to specify whether all assignment requests are displayed or only open ones. By default, pending as well as closed assignment requests are displayed.

To only display a manager's pending assignment requests in the Web Portal

  • Disable the QER | ITShop| ShowClosedAssignmentOrders configuration parameter in the Designer.

Standard products for assignment requests

You require special resources, also called assignment resources, for assignment requests. Assignment resources are linked to service items and can thus be made available as products in the IT Shop.

One Identity Manager provides standard products for assignment requests. These are used to:

  • Request membership in business roles or organizations for which the logged-in One Identity Manager user is responsible.

  • Order assignments of system entitlements or other company resources to business roles or organizations for which the logged in One Identity Manager user is responsible.

Assignment of company resources to business roles and organizations

In the default installation, all active One Identity Manager database employees are customers of the Identity & Access Lifecycle shop. This allows all active employees to request memberships and assignments. Assignment requests are automatically approved by self-service.

You can add standard products for assignment requests to your own IT Shop.

Assignments can only be requested from and for customers of this shop. This means, the manager of the hierarchical roles as well as the employees that are also members of these roles, must be customers in the shop.

TIP: Assignment requests can also be made for custom assignment tables (many-to-many tables), if they have an XOrigin column. The properties for this column must correspond to the column definition for XOrigin columns in the One Identity Manager data model.
Example for an assignment request

Jo User1 is the project X project leader. A business role (Project X) is added in the Manager to ensure that all the project staff obtain the necessary entitlements. Jo User1 is assigned as manager of this business role. All project staff have a user account in the Active Directory domain P.

Jo User1 can request memberships in the Project X business role in the Web Portal because they are a manager. Jo User1 requests memberships for themselves and all project staff.

Furthermore, Jo User1 wants all project staff to obtain their entitlements in Active Directory through the Project X AD permissions Active Directory group. To this, they request Project X AD permissions in the Web Portal for the Project X business role.

The user accounts of all project staff become members in the Project X AD permissions Active Directory group through internal inheritance processes.

Requesting memberships in business roles

NOTE: This function is only available if the Business Roles Module is installed.

You have the option to limit assignment requests to single business roles. To do this, an assignment resource is created for a fixed requestable business role. The business role is automatically part of the request in an assignment resource request. If the request has been approved, the requester becomes a member of the application role.

Each requestable business role of this kind can have its own approval process defined. The service items connected with the assignment resources are assigned separate approval policies in order to do this.

To limit assignment requests to single business roles

  1. In the Manager, select the Business roles > <role class> category.

  2. Select the business role in the result list.

  3. Select the Create assignment resource task.

    This starts a wizard that takes you through the steps for adding an assignment resource.

    1. Enter a description and allocate a resource type.

      This creates a new assignment resource with the following custom properties:

      • Table: Org

      • Object: Full name of business role

    2. Enter the service item properties to allocate to the assignment resource.

      • Assign a service category so that the assignment resource in the Web Portal can be ordered using the service category.

      A new service item is created and linked to the assignment resource.

  4. Assign the assignment resource to an IT Shop shelf as a product.

  5. Assign an approval policy to the shelf or the assignment resource’s service item.

Assignment resource and service item main data can be processed later on if required.

The assignment resource can be requested in the Web Portal like any other company resource. After the request has been successfully assigned, the employee for whom it was requested becomes a member of the associated business role through internal inheritance processes. For more information about requesting assignment resources, see the One Identity Manager Web Designer Web Portal User Guide.

The assignment resource cannot be used to request the assignment of company resources to this business role. Instead, use the Role entitlement assignment default assignment resource.

Requesting memberships in application roles

You have the option to limit assignment requests to single business roles. To do this, an assignment resource is created for a fixed requestable application role. The application role then automatically becomes part of the assignment resource request. If the request is approved, the requester becomes a member of the application role.

Each requestable application role of this kind can have its own approval process defined. The service items connected with the assignment resources are assigned separate approval policies in order to do this.

To limit assignment requests to single application roles

  1. In the Manager, select an application role in the One Identity Manager Administration category.

  2. Select the Create assignment resource task.

    This starts a wizard that takes you through the steps for adding an assignment resource.

    1. Enter a description and allocate a resource type.

      • Table: AERole

      • Object: Full name of application role

    2. Enter the service item properties to allocate to the assignment resource.

      • Assign a service category so that the assignment resource in the Web Portal can be ordered using the service category.

      A new service item is created and linked to the assignment resource.

  3. Assign the assignment resource to an IT Shop shelf as a product.

  4. Assign an approval policy to the shelf or the assignment resource’s service item.

Assignment resource and service item main data can be processed later on if required.

The assignment resource can be requested in the Web Portal like any other company resource. After the request has been successfully assigned, the employee for whom it was requested becomes a member of the associated application role through internal inheritance processes.
