An account definition specifies which rules are used to form the IT operating data and which default values will be used if no IT operating data can be found through the employee's primary roles.
The following IT operating data is used in the One Identity Manager default configuration for automatically creating user accounts for an employee in the target system and modifying them.
To create a mapping rule for IT operating data
-
In the Manager, select the Custom target systems > Basic configuration data > Account definitions > Account definitions category.
-
Select an account definition in the result list.
-
Select the Edit IT operating data mapping task.

-
Source: Specifies which roles to use in order to find the user account properties. You have the following options:
-
Default value: Default value of the property for an employee's user account if the value is not determined dynamically from the IT operating data.
-
Always use default value: Specifies whether the user account property is always set with the default value. IT operating data is not determined dynamically from a role.
-
Notify when applying the default: Specifies whether an email is sent to a specific mailbox when the default value is used. The Employee - new user account with default properties created mail template is used.
To change the mail template, in the Designer, adjust the TargetSystem | UNS | Accounts | MailTemplateDefaultValues configuration parameter.

To create user accounts with the Full managed manage level, the required IT operating data must be determined. The operating data required to automatically supply an employee with IT resources is shown in the business roles, departments, locations, or cost centers. An employee is assigned a primary business role, primary location, primary department, or primary cost center. The necessary IT operating data is ascertained from these assignments and used in creating the user accounts. Default values are used if valid IT operating data cannot be found over the primary roles.
You can also specify IT operating data directly for a specific account definition.
Example:
Normally, each employee in department A obtains a default user account in the domain A. In addition, certain employees in department A obtain administrative user accounts in the domain A.
Create an account definition A for the default user account of the domain A and an account definition B for the administrative user account of domain A. In the IT operating data mapping rule for the account definitions A and B, specify the Department property in order to determine the valid IT operating data.
Specify the effective IT operating data of department A for the domain A. This IT operating data is used for standard user accounts. In addition, for department A, specify the effective IT operating data of account definition B. This IT operating data is used for administrative user accounts.
For more information, see the One Identity Manager Target System Base Module Administration Guide.

Account definitions are assigned to company employees.
Indirect assignment is the default method for assigning account definitions to employees. Account definitions are assigned to departments, cost centers, locations, or roles. The employees are categorized into these departments, cost centers, locations, or roles depending on their function in the company and thus obtain their account definitions. To react quickly to special requests, you can assign individual account definitions directly to employees.
You can automatically assign special account definitions to all company employees. It is possible to assign account definitions to the IT Shop as requestable products. Department managers can then request user accounts from the Web Portal for their staff. It is also possible to add account definitions to system roles. These system roles can be assigned to employees through hierarchical roles or added directly to the IT Shop as products.
In the One Identity Manager default installation, the processes are checked at the start to see if the employee already has a user account in the target system that has an account definition. If no user account exists, a new user account is created with the account definition’s default manage level.
NOTE: If a user account already exists and is disabled, then it is re-enabled. In this case, you must change the user account manage level afterward.
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.
Prerequisites for indirect assignment of account definitions to employees
-
Assignment of employees and account definitions is permitted for role classes (departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles).

- OR -
In the Manager, select role classes in the Business roles > Basic configuration data > Role classes category.
