Adding Active Directory groups to the IT Shop

When you assign a group to an IT Shop shelf, it can be requested by the shop customers. To ensure it can be requested, further prerequisites need to be guaranteed:

  • The group must be labeled with the IT Shop option.

  • The group must be assigned a service item.

    TIP: In the Web Portal, all products that can be requested are grouped together by service category. To make the group easier to find in the Web Portal, assign a service category to the service item.

  • If you only want the group to be assigned to employees through IT Shop requests, the group must also be labeled with the Use only in IT Shop option. Direct assignment to hierarchical roles or user accounts is no longer permitted.

NOTE: With role-based login, the IT Shop administrators can assign groups to IT Shop shelves. Target system administrators are not authorized to add groups to IT Shop.

Adding Active Directory groups automatically to the IT Shop

Table 60: Configuration parameter for automatically add groups in the IT Shop
Configuration parameter Description

QER | ITShop | GroupAutoPublish

Preprocessor-relevant configuration parameter for automatically adding groups to the IT Shop. This configuration parameter specifies whether all Active Directory and SharePoint target system groups are automatically added to the IT Shop. Changes to this parameter require the database to be recompiled.

QER | ITShop | GroupAutoPublish | ADSGroupExcludeList

This configuration parameter contains a list of all Active Directory groups for which automatic IT Shop assignment should not take place. Names are listed in a pipe (|) delimited list that is handled as a regular search pattern.

Example:

.*Administrator.*|Exchange.*|.*Admins|.*Operators|IIS_IUSRS

To add groups automatically to the IT Shop

  1. In the Designer, set the QER | ITShop | GroupAutoPublish configuration parameter.

  2. In the Designer, set the QER | ITShop | GroupAutoPublish | ADSGroupExcludeList configuration parameter and specify the Active Directory groups that are not to be added automatically to the IT Shop.

  3. Compile the database.

The groups are added automatically to the IT Shop from now on.

  • Synchronization ensures that the groups are added to the IT Shop. If necessary, you can manually start synchronization with the Synchronization Editor.

  • New groups created in One Identity Manager are added to the IT Shop.

The following steps are run to add a group to the IT Shop.

  1. A service item is determined for the group.

    The service item is tested and modified for each group as required. The service item name corresponds to the name of the group. The service item is assigned to one of the default service categories.

    • The service item is modified for groups with service items.

    • Groups without service items are allocated new service items.

  2. An application role for product owners is determined and the service item is assigned. Product owners can approve requests for membership in these groups. By default, the group's account manager is established as product owner.

    NOTE: The application role for the product owner must be added under the Request & Fulfillment | IT Shop | Product owner application role.

    • If the account manager of the group is already a member of an application role for product owners, this application role is assigned to the service item. Therefore, all members of this application role become product owners of the group.

    • If the account manager of the group is not yet a member of an application role for product owners, a new application role is created. The name of the application corresponds to the name of the account manager.

      • If the account manager is a user account or a contact, the user account's employee or the contact's employee is added to the application role.

      • If it is a group of account managers, the employees of all this group's user accounts are added to the application role.

    • If the group does not have an account manager, the Request & Fulfillment | IT Shop | Product owner | Without owner in AD default application role is used.

  3. The group is labeled with the IT Shop option and assigned to the Active Directory Groups IT Shop shelf in the Identity & Access Lifecycle shop.

Then the shop customers can request group memberships through the Web Portal.

NOTE: When a One Identity Manager group is irrevocably deleted from the database, the associated service item is also deleted.
