Overview of all assignments

The Overview of all assignments report is displayed for some objects, such as authorizations, compliance rules, or roles. The report finds all the roles, for example, departments, cost centers, locations, business roles, and IT Shop structures in which there are employees who own the selected base object. In this case, direct as well as indirect base object assignments are included.

Examples
  • If the report is created for a resource, all roles are determined in which there are employees with this resource.
  • If the report is created for a group or another system entitlement, all roles are determined in which there are employees with this group or system entitlement.
  • If the report is created for a compliance rule, all roles are determined in which there are employees who violate this compliance rule.
  • If the report is created for a department, all roles are determined in which employees of the selected department are also members.
  • If the report is created for a business role, all roles are determined in which employees of the selected business role are also members.

To display detailed information about assignments

  • To display the report, select the base object from the navigation or the result list and select the Overview of all assignments report.
  • Click the Used by button in the report toolbar to select the role class for which you want to determine whether roles exist that contain employees with the selected base object.

    All the roles of the selected role class are shown. The color coding of elements identifies the role in which there are employees with the selected base object. The meaning of the report control elements is explained in a separate legend. To access the legend, click the icon in the report's toolbar.

  • Double-click a control to show all child roles belonging to the selected role.
  • By clicking the button in a role's control, you display all employees in the role with the base object.
  • Use the small arrow next to to start a wizard that allows you to bookmark this list of employees for tracking. This creates a new business role to which the employees are assigned.

Configuration parameters for managing an Active Directory environment

The following configuration parameters are additionally available in One Identity Manager after the module has been installed.

Table 77: Configuration parameters
Configuration parameter Description
QER | ITShop | GroupAutoPublish

Preprocessor relevant configuration parameter for automatically adding groups to the IT Shop.

This configuration parameter contains the postfix for formatting login names for privileged user accounts.

TargetSystem | ADS | Accounts | PrivilegedAccount |
SAMAccountName_Prefix

This configuration parameter contains the prefix for formatting login names for privileged user accounts.

TargetSystem | ADS | Accounts | ProfileFixedString

 This configuration parameter contains a fixed character string that is appended to the user profile's default profile path.

TargetSystem | ADS | Accounts | TransferJPegPhoto

This configuration parameter specifies whether changes to the employee's picture are published in existing user accounts. The picture is not part of default synchronization. It is only published when employee data is changed.

TargetSystem | ADS | Accounts | TransferSIDHistory

This configuration parameter specifies whether the history of an SID is loaded from the target system.

This configuration parameter specifies whether the employee’s Active Directory user account is also blocked by synchronizing the central password.

TargetSystem | ADS | Accounts | UserMustChangePassword

This configuration parameter defines if the Change password at next login option is enabled when a new user account is created.

TargetSystem | ADS | AuthenticationDomains

This configuration parameter contains a pipe (|) delimited list of domains to be used by the manual Active Directory authentication module to authenticate users. The list is processed in the given order. This list should only contain domains to be synchronized.

This configuration parameter specifies whether modified properties are checked by updating. If this parameter is set, the objects in the target system are verified after every update.

Default project template for Active Directory

A default project template ensures that all required information is added in One Identity Manager. This includes mappings, workflows, and the synchronization base object. If you do not use a default project template you must declare the synchronization base object in One Identity Manager yourself.

Use a default project template for initially setting up the synchronization project. For custom implementations, you can extend the synchronization project with the Synchronization Editor.

The template uses mappings for the following schema types.
