NOTE: As long as an account definition for an employee is valid, the employee retains the user account that was created by it. If the account definition assignment is removed, the user account that was created from this account definition, is deleted.
You can delete a user account that was not created using an account definition through the result list or from the menu bar. After you have confirmed the security alert the user account is marked for deletion in the One Identity Manager. The user account is locked in One Identity Manager and permanently deleted from the One Identity Manager database and the target system depending on the deferred deletion setting.
For more information about deactivating and deleting employees and user accounts, see the One Identity Manager Target System Base Module Administration Guide.

You can use groups in SharePoint Online to provide users with the same permissions. Groups that you add for site collections are valid for all sites in that site collection. SharePoint Online roles that you define for a site are assigned directly to groups. All user accounts that are members of these groups obtain the permissions defined in the SharePoint Online roles for this site. To add users to groups, you assign the groups directly to users. You can assign groups to departments, cost centers, locations, business roles, system roles, or the IT Shop.
You can edit the following group data in the One Identity Manager:
-
Object properties like display name, owner, or visibility of memberships
-
Assigned SharePoint Online role and user accounts
-
Usage in the IT Shop

Risk assessment
