Restriction list based on business role
The Business Role module is an optional module that can be purchased with One Identity Manager. If this module is installed (selected on the Module selection page of the Setup wizard), you can restrict employees from seeing (and consequentially requesting access to) governed data that has been published to the IT Shop based on their business role assignments.
By defining a business role restriction list, only those employees who are assigned the selected business roles are able to see and request access to a governed resource.
To restrict access to a resource in the IT Shop (Data Governance Administrator)
-
In the Manager, open the Governed data view.
- From the Data Governance navigation view, select Governed data.
- From the Managed hosts view, navigate to the required managed host, select Governed data from the Tasks view or right-click menu.

To restrict access to an owned resource in the IT Shop (Only for Business Owners who also have Data Governance Administrator role)
Note: Business owners who have both the Data Governance | Administrators and Data Governance | Direct Owners application roles assigned, can use the web portal to define who can see and access owned resources.
- Log on to the One Identity Manager web portal.
- From the menu bar, select Responsibilities | My Responsibilities.
- On the My Responsibilities view, select the Governed Data tile.
- On the Governed data view, select a governed resource.
- Click the Master data tab.
- Click the Assign button to the right of Business Roles.
-
In the Assign dialog, use the left pane to select the business roles to be assigned to the selected resource.
Once selected, the business role appears in the Assigned pane (right pane) and the icon to the left of the business role changes to a check mark. To remove a business role, select the business role from the Assigned pane. The icon to the left of the business role changes back to an X and is removed from the Assigned pane.
Click OK to save your selections and close the Assign dialog.
- When finished with the assignments, click the Save button.
Requesting access to a governed resource
All active employees automatically become members of the Identity & Access Lifestyle shop, which is installed by default, and can therefore make requests, including access requests to governed resources.
File system and SharePoint resources placed under governance and published to the IT Shop are available for self-service requests through the Resource Access service category in the web portal. Selecting the Resource Access service category on the Request page displays a Request page allowing you to request access to governed file system resources or SharePoint resources.
For detailed instructions on how to create resource access requests, see:
