Approval by the chief approval team

Sometimes, approval decisions cannot be made for requests because the approver is not available or does not have access to One Identity Manager tools. To complete these requests, you can define a chief approval team whose members are authorized to intervene in the approval process at any time.

The chief approval team is authorized to approve, deny, or abort requests in special cases or to authorize other approvers.

IMPORTANT:

  • The four-eye principle can be broken like this because chief approval team members can make approval decisions for requests at any time. Specify, on a custom basis, in which special cases the chief approval team may intervene in the approval process.

  • The chief approval team members may always approval their own requests. The settings for the QER | ITShop | PersonInsertedNoDecide and QER | ITShop | PersonOrderedNoDecide configuration parameters do not apply for the chief approval team.

  • In the approval step, you can specify how many approvers must make a decision on this approval step. This limit is not valid for the chief approval team. The approval decision is considered to be made as soon as one member of the chief approval team has decided on the request.

The chief approval team can approve requests for all manual approval steps. The following applies:

  • Chief approval team decisions are not permitted for approval steps using the CR, SB, CD, EX, and WC approval procedures or the OC and OH procedures.

  • If a member of the chief approval team is identified as a regular approver for an approval step, they can only make an approval decision for this step as a regular approver.

  • The chief approval team can also make an approval decision if a regular approver has submitted a query and the request is in hold status.

To add members to the chief approval team

  1. In the Manager, select the IT Shop | Basic configuration data | Chief approval team category.

  2. Select the Assign employees task.

    In Add assignments, assign the employees who are authorized to approve all requests.

    TIP: In Remove assignments, you can remove the assignment of employees.

    To remove an assignment

    • Select the employee and double-click .

  3. Save the changes.

Approving requests with terms of use

Terms of use that explain conditions of use for a product can be stored for individual service items (for example, software license conditions). When someone requests this product, the requester, and request recipient must accept the terms of use before the request can be finalized.

In order for the request recipient to accept the terms of use, the request must be assigned to the request recipient in the approval process. Set an approval workflow for such requests that contain a BR approval step and enable the No automatic approval option for this approval step. One Identity Manager provides a default approval procedure and a Terms of Use acknowledgment for third-party orders (sample) default approval policy that you can use for this. Using the default approval workflow as a basis, create your own approval workflow that returns the request to the request recipient and determines the approver after the terms of use have been accepted. Use the BR approval procedure to do this.

To create an approval workflow for requests with terms of use

  1. Select the IT Shop | Basic configuration data | Approval workflows | Predefined category.

  2. In the result list, select the Terms of Use acknowledgment for third-party orders (sample) approval workflow and run the Change master data task.

  3. Select the Copy workflow task.

  4. Enter a name for the copy and click OK.

  5. Edit the copy. Modify the approval workflow to suit your requirements.

  6. Create an approval policy and assign it to the approval workflow.

  7. Assign service items to the approval policy, which are assigned terms of use.

Request sequence

Shop customers can request, renew, and unsubscribe products as soon as an IT Shop solution is set up. Use the Web Portal to do this. Furthermore, requests, and cancellations are approved in the Web Portal. You can make an overview of pending and closed requests for yourself. You can also find an overview of pending and closed requests in the Manager

Requests can have a limited time period, which means the requested product assignment is only valid with the validity period.

General request sequence

  1. A customer places a request in the Web Portal for:

    1. A product.

      - OR -

    2. Membership of a hierarchical role.

      - OR -

    3. The assignment of a company resource to a hierarchical role.

  2. The request goes through the assigned approval process.

  3. If the request has been granted approval and the Valid from date has been reached:

    1. The product is assigned to the customer. The company resource associated with the product is assigned indirectly to the customer.

      - OR -

    2. The customer becomes a secondary member of the hierarchical role.

      - OR -

    3. The company resource is assigned to the hierarchical role.

    The request contains the Assigned status (PersonWantsOrg.OrderState = 'Assigned').

    The product/membership/assignment remains until it is canceled.

Requests and the resulting assignments are displayed in the following table:

Requests

PersonWantsOrg

Product assignments

PersonInITShopOrg

Company resource assignments

 For example,

PersonHasQERResource

ADSAccountInADSGroup

Hierarchical role assignments

For example, PersonInDepartment

Hierarchical role assignments

For example, DepartmentHasADSGroup

General cancellation sequence

  1. A customer cancels a product/membership/assignment in the Web Portal.

    - OR -

    A requested product/requested membership/requested assignment is automatically unsubscribed.

  2. The cancellation goes through the assigned approval process.

  3. If cancellation was granted approval and the expiry date has been reached:

    1. The product's assignment is removed. The product's assigned to the associated company resource is also removed.

      - OR -

    2. The customer’s membership of the hierarchical role is removed.

      - OR -

    3. The company resource's assignment to the hierarchical role is removed.

    The request contains the Unsubscribed status (PersonWantsOrg.OrderSTate = 'Unsubscribed').

If a customer is removed from a shop, existing requests for this are closed. The products are unsubscribed and assignments are removed. If the customer changes to another shop, the product requests can be retained under certain circumstances. If the request is an assignment request, it can also be retained under certain circumstances, even if the requester is no longer a customer in the shop.

For more detailed information about requesting products, see the One Identity Manager Web Portal User Guide.
