Step 2: Applying the Policy Object

Step 2: Applying the Policy Object

You can apply the Policy Object by using the Enforce Policy page in the New Deprovisioning Policy Object wizard, or you can complete the wizard and then use the Enforce Policy command on the domain, OU, or Managed Unit where you want to apply the policy.

For more information on how to apply a Policy Object, see Applying Policy Objects and Managing policy scope earlier in this chapter.

Home Folder Deprovisioning

Policies in this category are intended to automate the following tasks on deprovisioning home folders for deprovisioned users:

  • Revoke access to home folders from deprovisioned user accounts.
  • Grant designated persons read access to deprovisioned home folders.
  • Change ownership on deprovisioned home folders.
  • Delete deprovisioned home folders.

When configuring a policy in this category, you specify how you want Active Roles to modify security on the user’s home folder upon a request to deprovision a user, and whether you want Active Roles to delete home folders upon user account deletion. The purpose is to prevent deprovisioned users from accessing their home folders, and to authorize designated persons to access deprovisioned home folders.

How this policy works

When processing a request to deprovision a user, Active Roles uses this policy to determine the home folder deprovisioning options, and then updates the configuration of the user’s home folder accordingly.

The available home folder deprovisioning options are summarized in the following table. For each option, the table outlines the policy effect on the user’s home folder.

Table 26: Policy effect on the user’s home folder

Option

Policy effect

Remove the user’s permissions on the home folder

Modifies the home folder security so that the deprovisioned user cannot access his or her home folder.

Grant the user’s manager read access to the home folder

Makes it possible for the person designated as the deprovisioned user’s manager to view and retrieve data from the home folder of that user. The manager is determined based on the Manager attribute of the deprovisioned user account in Active Directory.

Grant selected users or groups read access to the home folder

Makes it possible for the specified users or groups to view and retrieve data from the deprovisioned user’s home folder.

Make the selected user or group the owner of the home folder

Designates the specified user or group as the owner of the deprovisioned user’s home folder. The owner is authorized to control how permissions are set on the folder, and can grant permissions to others.

Delete the home folder when the user account is deleted

Upon the deletion of a user account, analyzes whether the user’s home folder is empty, and then deletes or retains the home folder, depending on the policy configuration. A policy can be configured to only delete empty folders. Another option is to delete both empty and non-empty folders.

How to configure a Home Folder Deprovisioning policy

To configure a Home Folder Deprovisioning policy, select Home Folder Deprovisioning on the Policy to Configure page in the New Deprovisioning Policy Object wizard or in the Add Deprovisioning Policy wizard. Then, click Next to display the Options to Deprovision Home Folder page.

Figure 92: Options to Deprovision Home Folder

On this page, you can select the home folder deprovisioning options you want Active Roles to apply when deprovisioning a user.

The names of the first four options are self-explanatory. These refer to the policy options summarized in the table above:

  • Remove the user’s permissions on the home folder.
  • Grant the user’s manager read-only access to the home folder.
  • Grant these users or groups read-only access to the home folder.
  • Make this user or group the owner of the home folder.

Select check boxes next to the options you want to be applied.

The third option requires that you click the Select button to choose users or groups. The users or groups you select will be authorized to view and retrieve data from the home folders of the deprovisioned users.

The fourth option requires that you click the Select button to choose one user or group. The user or group you select will be authorized to control permissions on the home folders of the deprovisioned users.

You can also configure the policy to delete home folders. If you select the Delete the home folder when the user account is deleted check box, the policy causes Active Roles to delete the home folder once the user account associated with that folder is deleted. You can refine this behavior by selecting one of these options from the list beneath the check box:

  • If home folder is empty.  Prevents Active Roles from deleting not empty home folders. If a given home folder contains any data, the policy does not delete that folder.
  • Always.  Allows Active Roles to delete both empty and not empty home folders. Regardless of whether a given home folder contains any data, the policy deletes that folder upon user account deletion.

When you are done, click Next and follow the instructions in the wizard to create the Policy Object.
