Effectiveness of group memberships

Table 61: Configuration parameters for conditional inheritance
Configuration parameter Effect when set

QER | Structures | Inherite | GroupExclusion

Preprocessor relevant configuration parameter for controlling effectiveness of group memberships. If the parameter is set, memberships can be reduced on the basis of exclusion definitions. Changes to this parameter require the database to be recompiled.

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 ( table).

The effectiveness of the assignments is mapped in the ADSAccountInADSGroup and BaseTreeHasADSGroup tables by the XIsInEffect column.

Example of the effect of group memberships
  • Group A is defined with permissions for triggering requests in a domain 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 domain. 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.

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.
