Site collections and sites are loaded into the One Identity Manager database through synchronization in the default installation of One Identity Manager. You can add new site collections and site in the One Identity Manager and publish them in the SharePoint Online target system. Predefined scripts and processes are provided for this purpose. You can use these as templates to make the site collections and sites requestable through the IT Shop.
NOTE: Customize these scripts and processes as required.
Script/Process | Description |
---|---|
Script O3S_CreateO3SSite |
Creates a new site collection and the associate root site in the One Identity Manager database. Creates a user account that is entered as site collection administrator or root site author. NOTE: Enter a valid SharePoint Online time zone value for the UID_DialogTimeZone parameter. If the time zone is invalid, UTC is used. You will find a list of permitted time zones in the script commentary. |
Script O3S_CreateO3SWeb |
Creates a new site within a site collection in the One Identity Manager database. |
Process O3S_O3SWeb_(De-)Provision |
Creates a new site within a site collection. The process is triggered by the PROVISION event if the site in the One Identity Manager database is not labeled as the root site. Deletes a site. The process is triggered by the DEPROVISION event if the site in the One Identity Manager database is not labeled as the root site. |
Process O3S_O3SSite_(De-)Provision |
Creates a new site collection in a web application and the associated root site. The process is triggered by the PROVISION event. Deletes a site collection in a web application and the associated root site. The process is triggered by the DEPROVISION event. |
The following step are required in additions:
-
Define a requestable product through which the site collection/site is requested from the IT Shop.
-
Define product properties that are mapped to the script parameter (for example, URL or site template). You must include these product properties when the site collection/site is requested.
-
Create a process for the PersonWantsOrg table that is started when the request is approved (event OrderGranted). This process call the matching script and sets the parameter values with the defined product properties you have defined. Then the site collection/site is added to the One Identity Manager database.
-
To add a new site collection to an existing synchronization project, extend the scope of the target system connection in the synchronization project if necessary.
If the Legacy authentication type was selected for the SharePoint Online connection, the scope can only include site collections in which the applicable synchronization user is entered as the site collection administrator in the SharePoint Online administration interface.
If the scope is not correctly set up, site collections cannot be loaded and synchronization is stopped.
