Default user accounts
Normally, each employee obtains a default user account, which has the permissions they require for their regular work. The user accounts are linked to the employee. The effect of the link and the scope of the employee’s inherited properties on the user accounts can be configured through an account definition and its manage levels.
To create default user accounts through account definitions
-
Create an account definition and assign the Unmanaged and Full managed manage levels.
-
Specify the effect of temporarily or permanently disabling, deleting, or the security risk of an employee on its user accounts and group memberships for each manage level.
-
Create a formatting rule for IT operating data.
You use the mapping rule to define which rules are used to map IT operating data for user accounts and which default values are used if no IT operating data can be determined through a person's primary roles.
The type of IT operating data required depends on the target system. The following setting are recommended for default user accounts:
-
In the mapping rule for the IsGroupAccount column, use the default value 1 and enable the Always use default value option.
-
In the mapping rule for the IdentityType column, use the default value Primary and enable Always use default value.
-
Enter the effective IT operating data for the target system. Select the concrete target system under Effects on.
Specify in the departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles that IT operating data should apply when you set up a user account.
-
Assign the account definition to employees.
When the account definition is assigned to an employee, a new user account is created through the inheritance mechanism and subsequent processing.

Administrative user accounts
