About this guide

The One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide describes the basics and features of the internal One Identity Manager roles and permissions model.

This guide is intended for end users, system administrators, consultants, analysts, and any other IT professionals using the product.

NOTE: This guide describes One Identity Manager functionality available to the default user. It is possible that not all the functions described here are available to you. This depends on your system configuration and permissions.

You will find an overview of the default application roles, default permissions groups and system users of One Identity Manager. You will learn how to get the application roles up and running. The guide also explains how you grant permissions for the tables and columns of the One Identity Manager schema. In addition, you will find an overview of the various One Identity Manager authentication modules.

Available documentation

You can access One Identity Manager documentation in the Manager and in the Designer by selecting the Help | Search menu item. The online version of One Identity Manager documentation is available in the Support portal under Technical Documentation. You will find videos with additional information at www.YouTube.com/OneIdentity.

One Identity Manager application roles

You can use the One Identity Manager role model to control edit permissions for One Identity Manager users. This role model takes into account technical aspects, for example, One Identity Manager tool administrative permissions, as well as functional aspects, which result from One Identity Manager user tasks within the company structure (for example, permissions for approving requests). One Identity Manager makes so-called application roles available.

Application roles have the following aims:

  • Program functions, employees, company resources, approval workflows and approval policies are assigned to fixed application roles. Edit permissions for these application roles do not need to be defined specifically for the company. This simplifies administration of edit permissions.
  • Enables audit secure internal administration of One Identity Manager users and their write permissions. Edit permissions can be granted through assignment, request, and approval or by calculation on account of specific properties. The plausibility of the edit permissions can be tested at any time with the attestation function.
  • Users are provided with initial permissions, which they required for carrying out their tasks. This is a way, for example, to create initially required user accounts.

Application roles can be limited to permissions groups whose edit permissions are predefined by One Identity Manager. Controlling edit permissions:

  • Navigation configuration in administration tools
  • Access to objects and their properties
  • Which interface forms and tasks are displayed
  • Availability of special program functionality

Users must be role-based to use application roles for logging in to One Identity Manager. Role-based authentications module finds the valid edit permissions from all the user's application roles. This provides the One Identity Manager user with permissions corresponding to their application roles for the One Identity Manager functions when they log onto One Identity Manager tools.

NOTE: Default application roles are defined in One Identity Manager modules and are not available until the modules are installed. You cannot delete default application roles.
