Creating and editing Active Directory user accounts

A user account can be linked to an employee in One Identity Manager. You can also manage user accounts separately from employees.

NOTE: It is recommended to use account definitions to set up user accounts for company employees. In this case, some of the main data described in the following is mapped through templates from employee main data.

NOTE: If employees are to obtain their user accounts through account definitions, the employees must own a central user account and obtain their IT operating data through assignment to a primary department, a primary location, or a primary cost center.

To create a user account

  1. In the Manager, select the Active Directory > User accounts category.

  2. Click in the result list.

  3. On the main data form, edit the main data of the user account.

  4. Save the changes.

To edit main data of a user account

General main data of Active Directory user accounts

Table 31: Configuration parameters for setting up user accounts
Configuration parameter Meaning

TargetSystem | ADS | Accounts | TransferJPegPhoto

Specifies whether changes to the employee's picture are published in existing user accounts. The picture is not part of default synchronization. It is only published when employee data is changed.

Enter the following data on the General tab.

Table 32: General main data of a user account
Property Description

Employee

Employee that uses this user account. An employee is already entered if the user account was generated by an account definition. If you create the user account manually, you can select an employee in the menu. If you are using automatic employee assignment, an associated employee is found and added to the user account when you save the user account.

You can create a new employee for a user account with an identity of type Organizational identity, Personalized administrator identity, Sponsored identity, Shared identity, or Service identity. To do this, click next to the input field and enter the required employee main data. Which login data is required depends on the selected identity type.

No link to an employee required

Specifies whether the user account is intentionally not assigned an employee. The option is automatically set if a user account is included in the exclusion list for automatic employee assignment or a corresponding attestation is carried out. You can set the option manually. Enable the option if the user account does not need to be linked with an employee (for example, if several employees use the user account).

If attestation approves these user accounts, these user accounts will not be submitted for attestation in the future. In the Web Portal, user accounts that are not linked to an employee can be filtered according to various criteria.

Not linked to an employee

Indicates why the No link to an employee required option is enabled for this user account. Possible values:

  • By administrator: The option was set manually by the administrator.

  • By attestation: The user account was attested.

  • By exclusion criterion: The user account is not associated with an employee due to an exclusion criterion. For example, the user account is included in the exclude list for automatic employee assignment (configuration parameter PersonExcludeList).

Account definition

Account definition through which the user account was created.

Use the account definition to automatically fill user account main data and to specify a manage level for the user account. One Identity Manager finds the IT operating data of the assigned employee and enters it in the corresponding fields in the user account.

NOTE: The account definition cannot be changed once the user account has been saved.

NOTE: Use the user account's Remove account definition task to reset the user account to Linked status. This removes the account definition from both the user account and the employee. The user account remains but is not managed by the account definition anymore. The task only removes account definitions that are directly assigned (XOrigin=1).

Manage level

Manage level of the user account. Select a manage level from the menu. You can only specify the manage level can if you have also entered an account definition. All manage levels of the selected account definition are available in the menu.

First name

The user’s first name. If you have assigned an account definition, the input field is automatically filled out with respect to the manage level.

Middle name

User's middle name. If you have assigned an account definition, the input field is automatically filled out with respect to the manage level.

Last name

The user’s last name. If you have assigned an account definition, the input field is automatically filled out with respect to the manage level.

Initials

The user’s initials. If you have assigned an account definition, the input field is automatically filled out with respect to the manage level.

Title

Distinguished name

User account's distinguished name. The distinguished name is formatted from the user account's identifier and the container and cannot be changed.

Domain

Domain in which the user account is created.

Container

Container in which to create the user account. If you have assigned an account definition, the container is determined from the company IT data for the assigned employee depending on the manage level of the user account. When the container is selected, the defined name for the user is created using a formatting rule.

Primary group

User account's primary group. Synchronization with the Active Directory environment assigns the user account to the Domain Users group by default. Only groups that are assigned to the user account are available as primary groups.

Login name (pre Win2000)

Login name for the previous version of Active Directory. If you assigned an account definition, the login name (pre Win2000) is made up of the employee’s central user account depending on the manage level of the user account.

User login name

User account login name. User login names that are formatted like this correspond to the User Principal Name (UPN) in Active Directory.

If you have already established the container and entered the login name (pre Win2000), the user login name is created following the formatting rule as shown:

<login name (pre Win2000)>@<AD domain name>

Email address

User account email address. If you assigned an account definition, the email address is made up of the employee’s default email address depending on the manage level of the user account.

Additional email addresses

Other email addresses for the user account.

Account expiry date

Account expiry date. Specifying an expiry data for the account has the effect that the logon for this user account is blocked as soon as the given date is exceeded. If you assigned an account definition, the employee’s last day of work it is automatically taken as the expiry date depending on the manage level. Any existing account expiry date is overwritten in this case.

Structural object class

Structural object class representing the object type. By default, you set up user accounts in One Identity Manager with the USER object class. However, the INETORGPERSON object class is also supported, which is used by other LDAP and X.500 directory services for the mapping of user accounts.

Risk index (calculated)

Maximum risk index value of all assigned groups. The property is only visible if the QER | CalculateRiskIndex configuration parameter is set. For detailed information, see the One Identity Manager Risk Assessment Administration Guide.

Category

Categories for the inheritance of groups by the user account. Groups can be selectively inherited by user accounts. To do this, groups and user accounts or contacts are divided into categories. Select one or more categories from the menu.

Description

Text field for additional explanation.

Specifies whether the user account is locked. Depending on the configuration, the user account in the Active Directory environment is locked after multiple incorrect password attempts. You can lock the user account again in the Manager using the Unlock user account task.

If the user account is linked to an employee, the user account is unlocked when a new central password is set for the employee. This behavior is controlled by the TargetSystem | ADS | Accounts | UnlockByCentralPassword configuration parameter. For detailed information about an employee’s central password, see One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.

Protected from accidental deletion

Specifies whether to protect the user account against accidental deletion. If the option is set, the permissions for deleting the user account are removed in Active Directory. The user account cannot be deleted or moved.
