Possible assignments of company resources through business roles

Employees, devices, and workdesks can inherit company resources though indirect assignment. To do this, employees, devices, and workdesks may be members of as many roles as required. Employees, devices, and workdesks obtain the necessary company resources through defined rules.

To assign company resources to roles, apply the appropriate tasks to the roles.

The following table shows the possible assignments of company resources to employees, workdesks, and devices using roles.

NOTE: Company resources are defined in the One Identity Manager modules and are not available until the modules are installed.

Permitting assignments of employees, devices, workdesks, and company resources to business roles

The default method for assigning company resources is through secondary assignment. For this, employees, devices, and workdesks as well as company resources are added to roles through secondary assignment.

Secondary assignment of objects to role in a role class is defined by the following options:

  • Assignments allowed: This option specifies whether assignments of respective object types to roles of this role class are allowed in general.

  • Direct assignments allowed: Use this option to specify whether respective object types can be assigned directly to roles of this role class. Set this option if, for example, resources are assigned to departments, cost centers, or locations over the assignment form in the Manager.

    NOTE: If this option is not set, the assignment of each object type is only possible through requests in the IT Shop, dynamic roles, or system roles.

Example:

To assign employees directly to a business role in the Manager, enable the Assignment allowed and the Direct assignment allowed options on the Employees entry in the Business role role class.

If employees can only obtain membership in a business role through the IT Shop, enable the Assignment allowed option but not the Direct assignment allowed option on the Employees entry in the Business role role class. A corresponding assignment resource must be available in the IT Shop.

To configure assignments to roles of a role class

  1. In the Manager, select role classes in the Business roles > Basic configuration data > Role classes category.

  2. Select the Configure role assignments task.

  3. Use the Allow assignments column to specify whether assignment is generally allowed.

    NOTE: You can only reset the Assignment allowed option if there are no assignments of the respective objects to roles of this role class and none can arise through existing dynamic roles.

  4. Use the Allow direct assignments column to specify whether a direct assignment is allowed.

    NOTE: You can only reset the Direct assignment allowed option if there are no direct assignments of the respective objects to roles of this role class.

  5. Save the changes.

Specifying the direction of inheritance

The direction of inheritance decides the distribution of company resources within a role hierarchy. The direction of inheritance is defined by the role classes.

The direction of inheritance can only be specified when a role class is added.

  • Set Inherited top down to specify top-down inheritance.

  • Set Inherited bottom up to specify bottom-up inheritance.

Blocking inheritance using business roles

There are particular cases where you may not want to have inheritance over several hierarchical levels. That is why it is possible to discontinue inheritance within a hierarchy. The effects of this depend on the chosen direction of inheritance.

  • Roles marked with the Block inheritance option do not inherit any assignments from parent levels in top-down inheritance. It can, however, pass on its own directly assigned company resources to lower level structures.

  • In bottom-up inheritance, the role labeled with the Block inheritance option inherits all assignments from lower levels in the hierarchy. However, it does not pass any assignments further up the hierarchy.

To discontinue inheritance for business roles

  1. In the Manager, in the Organizations category, select a business role.

  2. Select the Change main data task.

  3. Set the Block inheritance option.

  4. Save the changes.
