Managing assignments of PAM user groups

To enable the requesting of, for example, a password for an asset account or a session for the accounts and assets in the Privileged Account Management system, users require the necessary entitlements. To simplify the administration, user accounts can be grouped into user groups. Through the user groups, user accounts receive the entitlements for requesting passwords or sessions.

In One Identity Manager, you can assign the user groups directly to the user accounts, or they can be inherited through departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles. Users can also request the user groups through the Web Portal. To do this, the user groups are provided in the IT Shop.

The assignment of entitlements to user groups is not performed in One Identity Manager but in the Privileged Account Management.

Assigning PAM user groups to PAM user accounts in One Identity Manager

In One Identity Manager, PAM user groups can be assigned directly or indirectly to user accounts.

In the case of indirect assignment, employees and PAM user groups are classified in hierarchical roles. The number of PAM user groups assigned to an employee is calculated from the position in the hierarchy and the direction of inheritance. If the employee has a PAM user account, this PAM user account is assigned the PAM user groups.

User groups can also be requested in the Web Portal. To do this, add employees to a shop as customers. All PAM user groups that are assigned to this shop as products can be requested by the customers. Requested PAM user groups are assigned to the employees after approval is granted.

You can use system roles to group PAM user groups together and assign them to employees as a package. You can create system roles that contain only PAM user groups. You can also group any number of company resources into a system role.

To react quickly to special requests, you can also assign the PAM user groups directly to PAM user accounts.

Prerequisites for indirect assignment of PAM groups to PAM user accounts

In the case of indirect assignment, employees and PAM groups are assigned to hierarchical roles, such as departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles. When assigning PAM groups indirectly, check the following settings and modify them if necessary.

  1. Assignment of employees and PAM user groups is permitted for role classes (departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles).

    For more information, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.

    ClosedAllow assignments to role classes of departments, cost centers, locations, or roles

  2. Settings for assigning PAM user groups to PAM user accounts.

    • The PAM user account is labeled with the Groups can be inherited option.

    • The PAM user account is linked to an employee.

    • The PAM user account and the PAM user group belong to the same appliance.

NOTE: There are other configuration settings that play a role when company resources are inherited through departments, cost centers, locations, and business roles. For example, role inheritance might be blocked or inheritance of employees not allowed. For more detailed information about the basic principles for assigning company resources, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.
