Managing devices and workdesks

One Identity Manager offers extended device administration functionality for networks. One Identity Manager differentiates between device types, device models, and the device itself.

  • Device types, such as PCs, printers, or monitors, provide the initial classification of the devices.
  • Device models provide additional fine-tuning of the device types in order to obtain a more exact classification of devices.
  • The actual devices as they are defined in the network are listed under devices.

Workdesks are required for assigning different devices to a workstation. The assignment of company resources can be mainly automated by assigning workdesks to business roles, departments, cost centers, locations, or dynamic roles.

To manage devices and workdesks in One Identity Manager

  • In the Designer, set the Hardware configuration parameter and compile the database.

Basic data for device admin

The following basic data is required for managing devices:

  • Configuration parameter

    Use configuration parameters to configure the behavior of the system's basic settings. One Identity Manager provides default settings for different configuration parameters. Check the configuration parameters and modify them as necessary to suit your requirements.

    Configuration parameters are defined in the One Identity Manager modules. Each One Identity Manager module can also install configuration parameters. In the Designer, you can find an overview of all configuration parameters in the Base data | General | Configuration parameters category.

  • Device Model

    Device models are required to classify devices, for example, PC, server, monitor, printer types. One Identity Manager contains predefined device models.

  • Information about manufacturers and suppliers

    You can store the manufacturer and supplier companies for entering device models and devices.

  • Device status

    Enter the possible device status for asset data about devices.

  • Workdesk status

    You can add a status to workdesks.

  • Workdesk Type

    Provide workdesk types for further classification of workdesks.
