Account definitions are assigned to company employees. Indirect assignment is the default method for assigning account definitions to employees. Account definitions are assigned to departments, cost centers, locations, or roles. The employees are categorized into these departments, cost centers, locations, or roles depending on their function in the company and thus obtain their account definitions. To react quickly to special requests, you can assign individual account definitions directly to employees. You can automatically assign special account definitions to all company employees. It is possible to assign account definitions to the IT Shop as requestable products. A department manager can then request user accounts from the Web Portal for his staff. It is also possible to add account definitions to system roles. These system roles can be assigned to employees through hierarchical roles or directly or added as products in the IT Shop. In the One Identity Manager default installation, the processes are checked at the start to see if the employee already has a user account in the target system that has an account definition. If no user account exists, a new user account is created with the account definition’s default manage level.
NOTE: If a user account already exists and is disabled, then it is re-enabled. You must alter the user account manage level afterward in this case.
Prerequisites for indirect assignment of account definitions to employees
• Assignment of employees and account definitions is permitted for role classes (departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles).
NOTE: As long as an account definition for an employee is valid, the employee retains the user account that was created by it. If the assignment of an account definition is removed, the user account that was created from this account definition is deleted. For detailed information about preparing role classes to be assigned, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.
