Active Directory user accounts, Active Directory contacts, and Active Directory computers can be grouped into Active Directory groups that can be used to regulate access to resources.
In One Identity Manager, you can assign Active Directory groups directly to user accounts, contacts, and computers or they can be inherited through departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles. Users can also request the groups through the Web Portal. To do this, groups are provided in the IT Shop.
Active Directory groups can be assigned directly or indirectly to Active Directory user accounts, Active Directory contacts, and Active Directory computers.
Employees (workdesks or devices) and Active Directory groups are grouped into hierarchical roles in the case of indirect assignment. The number of Active Directory groups assigned to an employee (workdesk or device) is calculated from the position within the hierarchy and inheritance direction.
If you add an employee to roles and that employee owns an Active Directory user account, the Active Directory user account is added to the Active Directory group.
If you add an employee to roles and that employee owns an Active Directory contact, the Active Directory contact is added to the Active Directory group.
If you add a device to roles, the Active Directory computer that references the device is added to the Active Directory groups.
If a device owns a workdesk and you add the workdesk to roles, the Active Directory computer, which references this device, is also added to all Active Directory groups of the workdesk's roles.
Furthermore, Active Directory groups can be requested through the Web Portal. To do this, add employees to a shop as customers. All Active Directory groups are assigned to this shop can be requested by the customers. Requested Active Directory groups are assigned to the employees after approval is granted.
Through system roles, Active Directory groups can be grouped together and assigned to employees and workdesks as a package. You can create system roles that contain only Active Directory groups. You can also group any number of company resources into a system role.
To react quickly to special requests, you can also assign Active Directory groups directly to Active Directory user accounts and Active Directory computers.
