A default application role exists for the target system manager in One Identity Manager. Assign identities to this application role who have permission to edit all domains in One Identity Manager.

Define additional application roles if you want to limit the permissions for target system managers to individual domains. The application roles must be added under the default application role.

For more information about implementing and editing application roles, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.

Implementing application roles for target system managers

1. The One Identity Manager administrator allocates identities to be target system administrators.

2. These target system administrators add identities to the default application role for target system managers.

   Target system managers with the default application role are authorized to edit all the domains in One Identity Manager.

3. Target system managers can authorize other identities within their area of responsibility as target system managers and if necessary, create additional child application roles and assign these to individual domains.

   NOTE: If no identities are assigned to a child application role for target system administrators, the identities of the parent application role are granted the permissions.

Prepare groups to add to the IT Shop. Can add identities that do not have the Primary identity identity type. Configure synchronization in the Synchronization Editor and define the mapping for comparing target systems and One Identity Manager. Edit the synchronization's target system types and outstanding objects. Authorize other identities within their area of responsibility as target system managers and create child application roles if required.
