Preventing employees, devices, or workdesks from inheriting individual business roles
Company resource inheritance for single roles can be temporarily prevented. You can use this behavior, for example, to assign all required company resources to a role. Inheritance of company resources does not take place, however, unless inheritance is permitted for the role, for example, by running a defined approval process.

In the Manager, in the Organizations category, select a business role.

Inheritance exclusion: Specifying conflicting roles
You can define conflicting roles to prevent employees, devices, or workdesks from being assigned to several roles at the same time and from obtaining mutually exclusive company resources through these roles. At the same time, specify which business roles are mutually exclusive. This means you may not assign these roles to one and the same employee (device, workdesk).
NOTE: Only roles, which are defined directly as conflicting roles cannot be assigned to the same employee (device, workdesk). Definitions made on parent or child roles do not affect the assignment.
Example:
The business role B has been entered as conflicting role in business role Jenna Miller and Hans Peter are members of business role A. Louise Lotte is member of business role B. Hans Peters cannot be assigned to business role B. Apart from that, One Identity Manager also prevents Jenna Miller from being assigned to business role B and Louise Lotte to business role A.

Restricting assignment of employees to multiple business roles
In certain circumstances you might want an employee to be assigned to only one business role such as, within a project structure.
To map this behavior, you can use the No multiple assignment of employees option. You can enable the option for role classes and role types.
-
If a role class has this option enabled, an employee can be assigned to only one business role of this role class. Assignment of the employee to other business roles belonging to this role class is not allowed.
-
If a role type has this option enabled, an employee can only be assigned one business role of this role type. It is not allowed to assign the employee to other business roles belonging to this role type.
NOTE:
-
Only for direct assignments of employees to business roles are verified.
-
Use the Multiple role assignments despite IsPersonAssignOnce on OrgRoot and Multiple role assignments despite IsPersonAssignOnce on OrgType consistency checks to identify invalid assignments to business roles. These assignments can originate from dynamic roles or through purchase orders, for example. For more information about consistency checking, see the One Identity Manager Operational Guide.
-
If a person has already been assigned to multiple business roles of a role class or role type, then the option cannot be set again for this role class or role type.
