Assigning resources to identities
Resources can be assigned to identities directly, indirectly, or through IT Shop requests. In the case of indirect assignment identities and resources are arranged in hierarchical roles. The number of resources assigned to an identity is calculated from the position in the hierarchy and the direction of inheritance. Add identities to a shop as customers so that resources can be assigned through IT Shop requests. All resources, which are assigned to this shop can be requested by the customers. Requested resources are assigned to the identities after approval is granted.
The prerequisite for indirect assignment of resources to identities is:
-
Assignment of identities and resources is permitted for role classes (departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles).
