Effectiveness of memberships in groups and system entitlements

NOTE: The functionality described here for groups applies equally to system entitlements.

When groups are assigned to user accounts an employee may obtain two or more groups, which are not permitted in this combination. To prevent this, you can declare mutually exclusive groups. To do this, you specify which of the two groups should apply to the user accounts if both are assigned.

It is possible to assign an excluded group at any time either directly, indirectly, or with an IT Shop request. One Identity Manager determines whether the assignment is effective.

NOTE:

  • You cannot define a pair of mutually exclusive groups. That means, the definition "Group A excludes group B" AND "Group B excludes groups A" is not permitted.
  • You must declare each group to be excluded from a group separately. Exclusion definitions cannot be inherited.
  • One Identity Manager does not check if membership of an excluded group is permitted in another group (UNSGroupBInUNSGroupB table).

The effectiveness of the assignments is mapped in the UNSAccountBInUNSGroupB/UNSAccountBHasUNSGroupB and BaseTreeHasUNSGroupB tables by the XIsInEffect column.

Example: The effect of group memberships
  • Group A is defined with permissions for triggering requests in a target system. A group B is authorized to make payments. A group C is authorized to check invoices.
  • Group A is assigned through the "Marketing" department, group B through "Finance", and group C through the "Control group" business role.

Clara Harris has a user account in this target system. She primarily belongs to the "Marketing" department. The "Control group" business role and the "Finance" department are assigned to her secondarily. Without an exclusion definition, the user account obtains all the permissions of groups A, B, and C.

By using suitable controls, you want to prevent an employee from being able to trigger a request and to pay invoices. That means, groups A, B, and C are mutually exclusive. An employee that checks invoices may not be able to make invoice payments as well. That means, groups B and C are mutually exclusive.

Group A, Group C

Only the group C assignment is in effect for Clara Harris. It is published in the target system. If Clara Harris leaves the "control group" business role at a later date, group B also takes effect.

The groups A and C are in effect for Jenny Basset because the groups are not defined as mutually exclusive. That means that the employee is authorized to trigger requests and to check invoices. If this should not be allowed, define further exclusion for group C.

Prerequisites

  • The QER | Structures | Inherite | GroupExclusion configuration parameter is set.

    In the Designer, set the configuration parameter and compile the database.

    NOTE: If you disable the configuration parameter at a later date, model components and scripts that are not longer required, are disabled. SQL procedures and triggers are still carried out. For more information about the behavior of preprocessor relevant configuration parameters and conditional compiling, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

  • Mutually exclusive groups belong to the same target system or the same target system type.

NOTE: Groups that are mutually exclusive, are determined within a target system type independently of the target system. The features must be taken into account in the definition of exclusion.

To exclude a group

  1. In the Manager, select the Custom Target Systems > <target system> > Groups category.

  2. Select a group in the result list.

  3. Select the Exclude groups task.

  4. In the Add assignments pane, assign the groups that are mutually exclusive to the selected group.

    - OR -

    In the Remove assignments pane, remove the groups that are no longer mutually exclusive.

  5. Save the changes.

To exclude system entitlements

  1. In the Manager, select the Custom Target Systems > <target system> > System entitlements 1 category.

    - OR -

    In the Manager, select the Custom Target Systems > <target system> > System entitlements 3 category.

  2. Select a system entitlement in the result list.

  3. Select the Exclude system entitlements 1 task, Exclude system entitlements 2 task, or Exclude system entitlements 3 task to match the selected system entitlement.

  4. In the Add assignments pane, assign system entitlements that are mutually exclusive to the selected system entitlement.

    - OR -
