You can use One Identity Manager to manage Privileged Account Management user accounts. A user account enables an employee to log onto the Privileged Account Management system, for example, onto One Identity Safeguard. One Identity Manager manages the local users of a Privileged Account Management system and directory users. Directory users are user accounts from an external target system, for example Active Directory or LDAP.
Through their user group, the user receives 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.
A user account can be linked to an employee in One Identity Manager. You can also manage user accounts separately from employees.
NOTE: It is recommended to use account definitions to set up user accounts for company employees. In this case, some of the main data described in the following is mapped through templates from employee main data.
NOTE: If employees are to obtain their user accounts through account definitions, the employees must own a central user account and obtain their IT operating data through assignment to a primary department, a primary location, or a primary cost center.
