Managing entitlement assignments

E-Business Suite User accounts are assigned permissions for objects Oracle E-Business Suite by means of responsibilities. Responsibilities cannot be assigned to user accounts directly. Instead, they are inherited by means of security groups. Permissions in Oracle E-Business Suite are characterized by the combination of responsibilities and security groups. These combinations are mapped in the One Identity Manager database as E-Business Suite permissions.

In Oracle E-Business Suite, entitlements can be assigned to user accounts directly and indirectly. Multiple indirect assignments with different validity periods can exist. Indirect assignments are imported into One Identity Manager and can be used for evaluations and reports. Direct assignments are also imported. For each user account there can be only one direct assignment.

In One Identity Manager, E-Business Suite entitlements can also be assigned directly or indirectly. Entitlement assignments made in One Identity Manager are transferred to Oracle E-Business Suite as direct assignments. The system then determines the assignment with the effective validity period out of all the authorization assignments for a user account.

In the One Identity Manager database, direct, and indirect entitlement assignments are identified as follows.

Assigning E-Business Suite entitlements to user accounts in One Identity Manager

In One Identity Manager, E-Business Suite entitlements can be assigned directly or indirectly to employees. In the case of indirect assignment, employees and entitlements are organized in hierarchical roles. The number of entitlements assigned to an employee is calculated from the position in the hierarchy and the direction of inheritance. If the employee has an E-Business Suite user account, the entitlements are assigned to this user account.

Entitlements can also be assigned to employees through IT Shop requests. To enable the assignment of entitlements using IT Shop requests, employees are added as customers in a shop. All entitlements assigned to this shop as products can be requested by the customers. After approval is granted, requested entitlements are assigned to the employees.

You can use system roles to group entitlements together and assign them to employees as a package. You can create system roles that contain only E-Business Suite entitlements. You can also group any number of company resources into a system role.

To react quickly to special requests, you can also assign the E-Business Suite entitlements directly to user accounts.

Prerequisites for indirect assignment of E-Business Suite entitlements to E-Business Suite user accounts

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

  1. Assignment of employees and E-Business Suite entitlements 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.

  2. Settings for assigning E-Business Suite entitlements to E-Business Suite user accounts.

    • E-Business Suite user accounts are labeled with the Groups can be inherited option.

    • E-Business Suite user accounts are linked with an employee through the UID_Person (Person) column.

    • E-Business Suite user accounts and E-Business Suite entitlements belong to the same E-Business Suitesystem.

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.
