Granting exception approvals

There can be individual cases where it is not possible to adhere to company policy. Policy violations can only be accepted occasionally, but only if you take the required measures to ensure that these violations are regularly checked. For this purpose, you may grant exception approval for certain policy violations.

Use the Web Portal to grant exception approvals. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Web Designer Web Portal User Guide.

You store exception approvals with policy violations. You can display an overview of all unprocessed (new) company policies and policies that have been granted or denied on the overview form for a company policy.

Prerequisites

  • The Exception approval allowed option is set for the company policy.

  • The company policy is assigned an application role for exception approvers.

  • Identities are assigned to this application role.

NOTE: If the Exception approval allowed option is not set, unedited policy violations for this company policy are automatically denied. Existing exception approvals are withdrawn.

Notifications about policy violations

After policy checking, email notifications can be sent through new policy violations to exception approvers and policy supervisors. The notification procedure uses mail templates to create notifications. The mail text in a mail template is defined in several languages. This ensures that the language of the recipient is taken into account when the email is generated. Mail templates are supplied in the default installation with which you can configure the notification procedure.

Messages are not sent to the chief approval team by default. Fallback approvers are only notified if not enough approvers could be found for an approval step.

To use email notifications

  1. Ensure that the email notification system is configured in One Identity Manager. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.

  2. In the Designer, set the QER | Policy | EmailNotification configuration parameter.

  3. In the Designer, set the QER | Policy | EmailNotification | DefaultSenderAddress configuration parameter and enter the sender address used to send the email notifications.

  4. Ensure that all identities have a default email address. Notifications are sent to this address. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.

  5. Ensure that a language can be determined for all identities. Only then can they receive email notifications in their own language. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.

  6. Configure the notification procedure.
