A default application role exists for the target system manager in One Identity Manager. Assign the employees who have permission to edit all tenants in One Identity Manager to this application role.

Define additional application roles if you want to limit the permissions for target system managers to individual tenants. The application roles must be added under the default application role.

For detailed information about implementing and editing application roles, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.

Implementing application roles for target system managers

1. The One Identity Manager administrator allocates employees to be target system administrators.

2. These target system administrators add employees to the default application role for target system managers.

   Target system managers with the default application role are authorized to edit all the tenants in One Identity Manager.

3. Target system managers can authorize other employees within their area of responsibility as target system managers and if necessary, create additional child application roles and assign these to individual clients.
