Base data for business roles

The following basic information is relevant for building up hierarchical roles in One Identity Manager.

  • Configuration parameters

    Use configuration parameters to configure the behavior of the system's basic settings. One Identity Manager provides default settings for different configuration parameters. Check the configuration parameters and modify them as necessary to suit your requirements.

    Configuration parameters are defined in the One Identity Manager modules. Each One Identity Manager module can also install configuration parameters. In the Designer, you can find an overview of all configuration parameters in the Base data > General > Configuration parameters category.

  • Role classes

    Role classes form the basis of mapping hierarchical roles in One Identity Manager. Role classes are used to group similar roles together.

  • Role types

    Create role types in order to classify roles. Roles types can be used to map roles in the user interface, for example.

  • 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 roles. You can enter criteria that provide information about risks from rule violations for functional areas and roles. Moreover, functional areas can be used during peer group analysis of requests or attestation cases.

  • Attestors

    In One Identity Manager, you can assign business roles to employees who can be brought in as attestors in attestation cases, provided that the approval workflow is set up accordingly. To do this, assign the business roles to application roles for attestors. For detailed information about attestation, see the One Identity Manager Attestation Administration Guide.

    A default application role for attestors is available in One Identity Manager. You may create other application roles as required. For detailed information about application roles, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.

  • Role approvers and role approvers (IT)

    In One Identity Manager, you can assign business roles to employees who can be brought in as approvers in approval processes for IT Shop requests, provided that the approval workflow is set up accordingly. To do this, assign the business roles to application roles for approvers. For more information, see the One Identity Manager IT Shop Administration Guide.

    Default application roles for approvers and approvers (IT) are available in One Identity Manager. You may create other application roles as required. For detailed information about implementing and editing application roles, see theOne Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.
