Handling of PAM objects in the Web Portal

One Identity Manager enables its users to perform various tasks simply using a Web Portal. The Web Portal supports the administration of a Privileged Account Management system for the following tasks:

  • Managing user accounts and employees

    An account definition can be requested by shop customers in the Web Portal if it is assigned to an IT Shop shelf. The request undergoes a defined approval procedure. The user account is not created until it has been agreed by an authorized person, such as a manager.

  • Managing the assignments of user groups

    When a group is assigned to an IT Shop shelf, the group can be requested by the customers of the shop in the Web Portal. The request undergoes a defined approval procedure. The group is not assigned until it has been approved by an authorized person.

    In the Web Portal, managers and administrators of organizations can assign groups to the departments, cost centers, or locations for which they are responsible. The groups are passed on to all persons who are members of these departments, cost centers, or locations.

    If the Business Roles Module is available, managers, and administrators of business roles can assign groups in the Web Portal to the business roles for which they are responsible. The groups are passed on to all persons who are members of these business roles.

    If the System Roles Module is available, supervisors of system roles can assign groups to the system roles in the Web Portal. The groups are passed on to all persons to whom these system roles are assigned.

  • Managing access requests to privileged objects

    Using the Identity & Access Lifecycle | Privileged access IT Shop shelf, you can request password and session requests for privileged objects of a PAM system. The request undergoes a defined approval procedure. The owner of the privileged object for which you are requesting access approves the order. In the PAM system, a corresponding access request is made. If you were able to successfully create the access request, the user can log on to the PAM system and call the required password, or start the required session.

  • Attestation

    If the Attestation Module is available, the correctness of the properties of target system objects and of entitlement assignments can be verified on request. The owners of privileged objects attest the possible user access to these privileged objects. To enable this, attestation policies are configured in the Manager. The attesters use the Web Portal to approve attestation cases.

  • Governance administration

    If the Compliance Rules Module is available, you can define rules that identify the invalid entitlement assignments and evaluate their risks. The rules are checked regularly, and if changes are made to the objects in One Identity Manager. Compliance rules are defined in the Manager. Supervisors use the Web Portal to check and resolve rule violations and to grant exception approvals.

    If the Company Policies Module is available, company policies can be defined for the target system objects mapped in One Identity Manager and their risks evaluated. Company policies are defined in the Manager. Supervisors use the Web Portal to check policy violations and to grant exception approvals.

  • Risk assessment

    You can use the risk index of groups to evaluate the risk of entitlement assignments for the company. One Identity Manager provides default calculation functions for this. The calculation functions can be modified in the Web Portal.

  • Reports and statistics

    The Web Portal provides a range of reports and statistics about the employees, user accounts, and their entitlements and risks.
