Editing synchronization projects

Synchronization projects in which a client is already used as a base object can also be opened in the Manager. You can, for example, check the configuration or view the synchronization log in this mode. The Synchronization Editor is not started with its full functionality. You cannot run certain functions, such as, running synchronization or simulation, starting the target system browser and others.

NOTE: The Manager is locked for editing throughout. To edit objects in the Manager, close the Synchronization Editor.

To open an existing synchronization project in the Synchronization Editor

  1. Select the SAP R/3 > Clients category.
  2. Select the client in the result list. Select the Change main data task.
  3. Select the Edit synchronization project... task.

SAP user accounts

You can manage SAP R/3 user accounts with One Identity Manager. One Identity Manager concentrates on setting up and editing SAP user accounts. Groups, roles, and profiles are mapped in SAP, in order to provide the necessary permissions for One Identity Manager user accounts. The necessary data for system measurement is also mapped. The system measurement data is available in One Identity Manager, but the measurement itself takes place in the SAP R/3 environment.

If user accounts are managed through the central user administration (CUAClosed) in SAP R/3, access to the child client can be guaranteed for or withdrawn from user accounts in One Identity Manager.

NOTE: The following user accounts are read into the One Identity Manager database during synchronization, but cannot be edited, created, or deleted in One Identity Manager.

  • sap*

  • sapcpic

  • sapjsf

  • ddic

  • j2ee_admin

  • j2ee_guest

  • sladpiuser

  • slddsuser

  • adsuser

  • ads_agent

  • tmsadm

  • earlywatch

Changes to these user accounts can only be made in SAP R/3 and transferred to the One Identity Manager by subsequent synchronization.

Linking user accounts to employees

The main feature of One Identity Manager is to map employees together with the main data and permissions available to them in different target systems. To achieve this, information about user accounts and permissions can be read from the target system into the One Identity Manager database and linked to employees. This provides an overview of the permissions for each employee in all of the connected target systems. One Identity Manager offers the option of managing user accounts and their permissions. You can provision modifications in the target systems. Employees are supplied with the necessary permissions in the connected target systems according to their function in the company. Regular synchronization keeps data consistent between target systems and the One Identity Manager database.

Because requirements vary between companies, One Identity Manager offers different methods for supplying user accounts to employees. One Identity Manager supports the following methods for linking employees and their user accounts:

  • Employees can automatically obtain their account definitions using user account resources.

    If an employee does not yet have a user account in a client, a new user account is created. This is done by assigning account definitions to an employee using the integrated inheritance mechanisms and subsequent process handling.

    When you manage account definitions through user accounts, you can specify the way user accounts behave when employees are enabled or deleted.

  • When user accounts are inserted, they can be automatically assigned to an existing employee or a new employee can be created if necessary. In the process, the employee main data is created on the basis of existing user account main data. This mechanism can be implemented if a new user account is created manually or by synchronization. However, this is not the One Identity Manager default method. You must define criteria for finding employees for automatic employee assignment.

  • Employees and user accounts can be entered manually and assigned to each other.

Supported user account types

Different types of user accounts, such as default user accounts, administrative user accounts, service accounts, or privileged user accounts, can be mapped in One Identity Manager.

The following properties are used for mapping different user account types.

  • Identity

    The Identity property (IdentityType column) is used to describe the type of user account.

    Table 39: Identities of user accounts
    Identity Description Value of the IdentityType column

    Primary identity

    Employee's default user account.

    Primary

    Organizational identity

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

    Organizational

    Personalized admin identity

    User account with administrative permissions, used by one employee.

    Admin

    Sponsored identity

    User account used for a specific purpose. For example, for training purposes.

    Sponsored

    Shared identity

    User account with administrative permissions, used by several employees.

    Shared

    Service identity

    Service account.

    Service

    NOTE: To enable working with identities for user accounts, the employees also need identities. You can only link user accounts to which an identity is assigned with employees who have this same identity.

    The primary identity, the organizational identity, and the personalized admin identity are used for different user accounts, which can be used by the same actual employee to perform their different tasks within the company.

    To provide user accounts with a personalized admin identity or an organizational identity for an employee, you create subidentities for the employee. These subidentities are then linked to user accounts, enabling you to assign the required permissions to the different user accounts.

    User accounts with a sponsored identity, shared identity, or service identity are linked to pseudo employees that do not refer to a real employee. These pseudo employees are needed so that permissions can be inherited by the user accounts. When evaluating reports, attestations, or compliance checks, check whether pseudo employees need to be considered separately.

    For more information about mapping employee identities, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.

  • Privileged user account

    Privileged user accounts are used to provide employees with additional privileges. This includes administrative user accounts or service accounts, for example. The user accounts are labeled with the Privileged user account property (IsPrivilegedAccount column).

Default user accounts

Normally, each employee obtains a default user account, which has the permissions they require for their regular work. The user accounts are linked to the employee. The effect of the link and the scope of the employee’s inherited properties on the user accounts can be configured through an account definition and its manage levels.

To create default user accounts through account definitions

  1. Create an account definition and assign the Unmanaged and Full managed manage levels.

  2. Specify the effect of temporarily or permanently disabling, deleting, or the security risk of an employee on its user accounts and group memberships for each manage level.

  3. Create a formatting rule for IT operating data.

    You use the mapping rule to define which rules are used to map IT operating data for user accounts and which default values are used if no IT operating data can be determined through a person's primary roles.

    The type of IT operating data required depends on the target system. The following setting are recommended for default user accounts:

    • In the mapping rules for the IsGroupAccount_SAPGrp, IsGroupAccount_SAPProfile, and IsGroupAccount_SAPRole columns, use the default value 1 and set the Always use default value option.

    • In the mapping rule for the IdentityType column, use the default value Primary and enable Always use default value.

  4. Enter the effective IT operating data for the target system. Select the concrete target system under Effects on.

    Specify in the departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles that IT operating data should apply when you set up a user account.

  5. Assign the account definition to employees.

    When the account definition is assigned to an employee, a new user account is created through the inheritance mechanism and subsequent processing.

Administrative user accounts

An administrative user account must be used for certain administrative tasks. Administrative user accounts are usually predefined by the target system and have fixed names and login names, such as Administrator.

Administrative user accounts are imported into One Identity Manager during synchronization.

NOTE: Some administrative user accounts can be automatically identified as privileged user accounts. To do this, in the Designer, enable the Mark selected user accounts as privileged schedule.

You can label administrative user accounts as a Personalized administrator identity or as a Shared identity. Proceed as follows to provide the employees who use this user account with the required permissions.

  • Personalized admin identity

    1. Use the UID_Person column to link the user account with an employee.

      Use an employee with the same identity or create a new employee.

    2. Assign this employee to hierarchical roles.

  • Shared identity

    1. Assign all employees with usage authorization to the user account.

    2. Link the user account to a pseudo employee using the UID_Person column.

      Use an employee with the same identity or create a new employee.

    3. Assign this pseudo employee to hierarchical roles.

    The pseudo employee provides the user account with its permissions.

Privileged user accounts

Privileged user accounts are used to provide employees with additional privileges. This includes administrative user accounts or service accounts, for example. The user accounts are labeled with the Privileged user account property (IsPrivilegedAccount column).

NOTE: The criteria according to which user accounts are automatically identified as privileged are defined as extensions to the view definition (ViewAddOn) in the TSBVAccountIsPrivDetectRule table (which is a table of the Union type). The evaluation is done in the TSB_SetIsPrivilegedAccount script.

To create privileged users through account definitions

  1. Create an account definition. Create a new manage level for privileged user accounts and assign this manage level to the account definition.

  2. If you want to prevent the properties for privileged user accounts from being overwritten, set the IT operating data overwrites property for the manage level to Only initially. In this case, the properties are populated just once when the user accounts are created.

  3. Specify the effect of temporarily or permanently disabling or deleting, or the security risk of an employee on its user accounts and group memberships for each manage level.

  4. Create a formatting rule for the IT operating data.

    You use the mapping rule to define which rules are used to map IT operating data for user accounts and which default values are used if no IT operating data can be determined through a person's primary roles.

    The type of IT operating data required depends on the target system. The following settings are recommended for privileged user accounts:

    • In the mapping rule for the IsPrivilegedAccount column, use the default value 1 and set the Always use default value option.

    • You can also specify a mapping rule for the IdentityType column. The column owns different permitted values that represent user accounts.

    • To prevent privileged user accounts from inheriting the entitlements of the default user, define a mapping rule for the IsGroupAccount_SAPGrp, IsGroupAccount_SAPProfile, and IsGroupAccount_SAPRole columns with a default value of 0 and set the Always use default value option.

  5. Enter the effective IT operating data for the target system.

    Specify in the departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles which IT operating data should apply when you set up a user account.

  6. Assign the account definition directly to employees who work with privileged user accounts.

    When the account definition is assigned to an employee, a new user account is created through the inheritance mechanism and subsequent processing.

TIP: If customization requires that the login names of privileged user accounts follow a defined naming convention, specify how the login names are formatted in the template.
