SharePoint site collections and sites
SharePoint sites are organized into site collections. A site collection manages access rights and characterization templates for all sites in the site collection. It consists of at least one site on the top level (root site). Other websites are arranged below this root site. They can be connected to hierarchies through simple task relationships. Properties (for example role definitions) can be inherited by child sites though this hierarchical structure.
Site collections and sites are mapped with their access rights to One Identity Manager. You cannot edit their properties in the One Identity Manager. You can edit access rights managed within a site collection in One Identity Manager. To do this, SharePoint roles, groups, and user accounts are loaded into the One Identity Manager database.
