Defining inheritance exclusion for business roles
You can define conflicting roles to prevent employees, devices, or workdesks from being assigned to several roles at the same time and from obtaining mutually exclusive company resources through these roles. At the same time, you specify which business roles need to be mutually exclusive. This means you may not assign these roles to one and the same employee (device, workdesk).
NOTE: Only roles, which are defined directly as conflicting roles cannot be assigned to the same employee (device, workdesk). Definitions made on parent or child roles do not affect the assignment.
To configure inheritance exclusion
- In the Designer, set the QER | Structures | ExcludeStructures configuration parameter and compile the database.

Assigning extended properties
You can assign extended properties to business roles. Extended properties are meta objects, such as operating codes, cost codes, or cost accounting areas that cannot be mapped directly in One Identity Manager. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.
To specify extended properties for a business role
- Select the Business roles | <Role class> category.
- Select the business role in the result list.
- Select the Assign extended properties task.
- In the Add assignments pane, assign extended properties.
- OR -
In the Remove assignments pane, remove extended properties.
- Save the changes.
Creating assignment resources
You may add assignment resources to single business roles. This means you can limit assignment resources to a certain business role in the Web Portal. When the assignment resource is requested, it is no longer necessary to request the business role as well. It is automatically a part of the assignment request. For more information, see the One Identity Manager IT Shop Administration Guide.
To limit an assignment resource to a business role
- Select the Business roles | <Role class> category.
- Select a business role in the result list.
- Select the Create assignment resource... task.
This starts a wizard that takes you through the steps for adding an assignment resource.
