Unlocking Active Directory user accounts

If the password is entered incorrectly several times (configuration dependent), the user account is locked in Active Directory.

If the user account is linked to an employee, the user account is unlocked when a new central password is set for the employee. This behavior is controlled by the TargetSystem | ADS | Accounts | UnlockByCentralPassword configuration parameter. For detailed information about an employee’s central password, see One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.

To unlock a user account manually

  1. Select the Active Directory | User accounts category.
  2. Select the user account in the result list.

  3. Select the Change master data task.

  4. Select the Unlock user account task.
  5. Confirm the security prompt with OK.

    The user account is unlocked by One Identity Manager Service.

Assigning Active Directory groups directly to an Active Directory user account

Groups can be assigned directly or indirectly to a user account. Indirect assignment is carried out by allocating the employee and groups in hierarchical roles, such as departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles. If the employee has a user account in Active Directory, the groups in the role are inherited by this user account.

To react quickly to special requests, you can assign groups directly to the user account.

To assign groups directly to user accounts

  1. In the Manager, select the Active Directory | User accounts category.

  2. Select the user account in the result list.

  3. Select the Assign groups task.

  4. In the Add assignments pane, assign groups.

    TIP: In the Remove assignments pane, you can remove the assignment of groups.

    To remove an assignment

    • Select the group and double-click .
  5. Save the changes.
NOTE: The primary group of a user account is already assigned and is marked as Does not apply yet. Edit the user account's master data to change its primary group.
