Applying a new policy

To manage Office 365 user licenses

  1. From the Web Interface, assign, or modify the Office 365 license for an Azure AD User.

    The Policy is triggered for any Azure AD user in the Organization Unit for which the O365 and Azure Tenant selection policy is applied.

    If the policy conditions are not satisfied while assigning or modifying Azure AD User licenses, the following policy violation error is displayed:

    Provisioning policy failure. The 'O365 and Azure Tenant Selection' policy encountered an error. Exception in Azure Tenant Management Policy violation: The Azure user License(s) O365_BUSINESS_ESSENTIALS-PROJECTWORKMANAGEMENT, cannot be assigned. The policy prescribes that this Azure User requires only the specified license in the Policy Object to be assigned.

  2. Right-click and click Check Policy to check if there are any policy violations

    For a container object, this displays the Check Policy dialog.

  3. Review the options in the Check Policy dialog and click OK.

    The Policy Check Results window is displayed.

    IMPORTANT: Office 365 user license management now allows Administrator to select a subset of the licenses selected in policy during user creation or modification.

Office 365 user roles management through provisioning policy

From the Web Interface, assign or modify the Office 365 roles for an Azure AD User.

While creating an Azure AD user from the Active Roles Web Interface, if the policy conditions are not satisfied while assigning Azure AD User roles, the following policy violation error is displayed:

Provisioning policy failure. The O365 and Azure Tenant Selection policy encountered an error. Exception in Azure Tenant Management Policy violation: The Azure user Role(s) cannot be assigned. The policy prescribes that this Azure User requires only the specified role in the Policy Object to be assigned.

Provisioning OneDrive for Azure AD users

  1. From the Web Interface, create an Azure AD User, and assign a valid SharePoint Online license.

  2. After the user is created, the OneDrive provisioning process is performed in the background and after some time the process is completed.

    NOTE: Consider the following when provisioning OneDrive:

    • If the SharePoint Admin URL is incorrect then the OneDrive provisioning is not successful.

    • For an existing Azure AD user, during modification of user properties:

      • If OneDrive is not provisioned, then OneDrive provisioning is triggered.

      • If OneDrive is provisioned, and any changes are made to the OneDrive provisioning policy, then the policy changes are applied on the user.

  3. To check the provisioning result, open Azure Properties window for the user from the Web Interface, navigate to OneDrive tab.

    On successful provisioning of the user, the OneDrive URL, the used storage size, and the total storage size are displayed.

    NOTE: The storage size indicated in the policy gets synchronized to the Azure AD user's OneDrive.

E-mail Alias Generation

Policies in this category are intended to automate the assignment of the email alias when designating a user as mailbox-enabled on Microsoft Exchange Server. By default, Microsoft Exchange Server provides for the following recipient email address format: <email-alias>@<domain-name>

You can use predefined rules to generate email aliases, or configure custom rules. For example, you can configure a policy to compose the email alias of the first initial followed by the last name of the user. Custom rules provide for the addition of an incremental numeric value to ensure uniqueness of the alias. You can also specify whether the alias can be modified by the operator who creates or updates the user account.

How the E-Mail Alias Generation policy works

When making a user mailbox-enabled, Active Roles relies on this policy to assign a certain email alias to the user account. The policy generates the alias based on user properties, such as the pre-Windows 2000 user logon name, first name, initials, and last name. A custom rule can be configured to use other properties.

A custom rule can also be configured to add so-called uniqueness number. A uniqueness number is a numeric value the policy includes into the alias, incrementing that value in the event of an alias naming conflict. For example, the policy can automatically change the generated alias from John.Smith to John1.Smith if a mailbox with the alias John.Smith already exists. If the alias John1.Smith is also in use, the new alias will be changed to John2.Smith, and so on.

The policy configuration provides the option to allow or disallow manual edits of policy-generated aliases. Permission to modify a policy-generated alias can be restricted to the case where the alias is in use by another mailbox.

Some specific features of the policy behavior are as follows:

  • With a rule that does not use a uniqueness number, Active Roles simply attempts to assign the generated alias to the user account. The operation may fail if the generated alias is not unique, that is, the alias is already assigned to a different user account. If the policy allows manual edits of policy-generated aliases, the alias can be corrected by the operator who creates the user account.

  • With a custom rule that uses a uniqueness number, Active Roles adds a button at the client side, next to the Alias field on the user creation and modification forms.

    To generate an alias, the client user (operator) must click that button, which also applies if the generated alias is in use. Clicking Generate increases the uniqueness number by one, thereby allowing the alias to be made unique.

  • With a custom rule configured to include user properties that are normally not displayed on the user creation forms, an extra page is added to the New Object - User Wizard in the Active Roles Console, making it possible to specify the user properties required to generate the alias.

  • The policy defines a list of characters that are unacceptable in e-mail aliases. Space characters and the following characters are not accepted:

    @ * + | = \ ; : ? [ ] , < > /

  • The policy denies processing of operation requests that assign the empty value to the e-mail alias.

  • When checking user accounts for Active Roles policy compliance, Active Roles detects, and reports on, the aliases that are not set up as prescribed by the alias generation policy.

Configuring an E-mail Alias Generation policy

To configure an E-mail Alias Generation policy, select E-mail Alias Generation on the Policy to Configure page in the New Provisioning Policy Object Wizard or in the Add Provisioning Policy Wizard. Then, click Next to display the E-mail Alias Generation Rule page:

Figure 81: E-mail Alias Generation Rule

On the E-mail Alias Generation Rule page, you can select a pre-configured rule or create a custom alias-generation rule. The first four options on the page are self-explanatory. For example, the first option makes the email alias the same as the user logon name (pre-Windows 2000). The option Other combination of user properties, allows you to configure a custom rule, including the addition of uniqueness number.

By selecting the Allow manual edits of e-mail alias check box, you authorize the operator who creates or updates the user account to make changes to the policy-generated alias. If this check box is cleared, Active Roles displays the Alias field as read-only on the user creation and modification forms.

By selecting the Always option, you authorize the operator to modify the alias at their discretion. With the Only if a unique alias cannot be generated by this policy option, you limit manual changes to the situation where a unique alias cannot be generated in accordance with the policy rules.
