Identity Manager 8.1.5 - Administration Guide for Connecting to SharePoint Online

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 an authentication object is assigned, the connected employee is found through the authentication object by using a template. If there is no authentication object assigned, the employee can be assigned automatically or manually.

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 master data. Which login data is required depends on the selected identity type.

Account definition through which the user account was created.

Use the account definition to automatically fill user account master 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.

Type of the principal (user, domain group)

Authentication mode used for logging in on the SharePoint Online server with this user account. For SharePoint Online, AzureAD is the only authentication mode.

Authentication object referencing the user account.

The authentication object is assigned during automatic synchronization. You can assign an authentication object when setting up a new user account in the Manager. The authentication object cannot be changed after saving.

The following authentication objects can be assigned to a user-authenticated user account:

• Azure Active Directory user accounts from the tenant that is assigned to the SharePoint Online tenant

Any display name for the user account. By default, the title is taken from the authentication object’s display name. Enter the display name by hand if no authentication object is assigned.

User account login name. The login name is determined by using a template. Enter the login name by hand if no authentication object is assigned.

User account email address. The email address is formatted using templates from the authentication object's email address.

Maximum risk index value of all assigned SharePoint Online roles and 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.

User account's identity type Permitted values are:

• Primary identity: Employee's default user account.

• Organizational identity: Secondary user account used for different roles in the organization, for example for subcontracts with other functional areas.

• Personalized administrator identity: User account with administrative permissions, used by one employee.

• Sponsored identity: User account that is used for a specific purpose, such as training.

• Shared identity: User account with administrative permissions, used by several employees. Assign all employees that use this user account.

• Service identity: Service account.

Specifies whether the user account can inherit SharePoint Online roles and groups through the employee. If this option is set, the user account inherits SharePoint Online roles and groups through hierarchical roles or IT Shop requests.

• If you add an employee with a user account to a department, for example, and you have assigned groups to this department, the user account inherits these groups.
• If an employee has requested group membership in the IT Shop and the request is granted approval, the employee's user account only inherits the group if the option is set.
