Role types for the IT Shop
Create role types in order to classify roles. You can use role types to limit the approval policies in effect for shelves. To do this, assign role types to shelves and approval policies.
You can also assign role types to shops if you want to apply further criteria to distinguish between shops. Role types for shops do not, however, influence how the approval policies in effect are determined.

Functional areas
To analyze rule checks for different areas of your company in the context of identity audit, you can set up functional areas. Functional areas can be assigned to hierarchical roles and service items. You can enter criteria that provide information about risks from rule violations for functional areas and hierarchical roles. To do this, you specify how many rule violations are permitted in a functional area or a role. You can enter separate assessment criteria for each role, such as a risk index or transparency index.
Moreover, functional areas can be replaced by peer group analysis during request approvals or attestation cases.
Example: Use of functional areas
To assess the risk of rule violations for service items. Proceed as follows:
-
Set up functional areas.
-
Assign service items to the functional areas.
-
Specify the number of rule violations allowed for the functional area.
-
Assign compliance rules required for the analysis to the functional area.
-
Use the One Identity Manager report function to create a report that prepares the result of rule checking for the functional area by any criteria.

Chief approval team
Sometimes, approval decisions cannot be made for requests because the approver is not available or does not have access to One Identity Manager tools. To complete these requests, you can define a chief approval team whose members are authorized to intervene in the approval process at any time.
There is a default application role in One Identity Manager for the chief approval team. Assign this application role to all identities who are authorized to approve, deny, cancel requests in special cases, or to authorize other approvers. For more information about application roles, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.
