One Identity Manager enables its users to perform various tasks simply using a Web Portal.
-
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 process. The user account is not created until it has been agreed by an authorized person, such as a manager.
-
Managing assignments of groups and system entitlements
These products can be requested in the Web Portal by the shop's customers by assigning groups and system entitlements to an IT Shop shelf. The request undergoes a defined approval process. The group or system entitlement is not assigned until it has been approved by an authorized person.
In the Web Portal, managers and administrators of organizations can assign system entitlements to the departments, cost centers, or locations for which they are responsible. The system entitlements and groups are inherited by all employees 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 and system entitlements to the business roles in the Web Portal for which they are responsible. The groups and system entitlements are inherited by all employees who are members of these business roles.
If the System Roles Module is available, those with system roles responsibilities can assign groups and system entitlements to the system roles in the Web Portal. The groups and system entitlements are inherited by all employees to whom these system roles are assigned.
-
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. To enable this, attestation policies are configured in the Manager. The attestors use the Web Portal to approve attestation cases.
-
Governance administration
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.

The following base data is relevant for managing a custom target system in One Identity Manager.
-
Account definitions
One Identity Manager has account definitions for automatically allocating user accounts to employees. You can create account definitions for every target system. If an employee does not yet have a user account in a target system, a new user account is created. This is done by assigning account definitions to an employee.
For more information, see Account definitions for user accounts.
- Password policy
provides you with support for creating complex password policies, for example, for system user passwords, the employees' central password as well as passwords for individual target systems. Password polices apply not only when the user enters a password but also when random passwords are generated.
Predefined password policies are supplied with the default installation that you can use or customize if required. You can also define your own password policies.
For more information, see Password policies for user accounts.
-
Initial password for new user accounts
You have the different options for issuing an initial password for user accounts. Enter a password or use a random generated initial password when you create a user account.
For more information, see Initial password for new user accounts.
-
Email notifications about credentials
When a new user account is created, the login data are sent to a specified recipient. In this case, two messages are sent with the user name and the initial password. Mail templates are used to generate the messages.
For more information, see Email notifications about login data.
-
Server
A server on which One Identity Manager Service is installed configured and started must be provided to provision data from One Identity Manager into a custom target system using synchronization by script. The server must be declared in One Identity Manager and entered as the synchronization server in the target system.
For more information, see Job server for provisioning data in a custom target system.
-
Target system managers
A default application role exists for the target system manager in One Identity Manager. Assign the employees who have permission to edit all target systems in One Identity Manager to this application role.
Define additional application roles if you want to limit the permissions for target system managers to individual target systems. The application roles must be added under the default application role.
For more information, see Target system managers.
-
Target system types
Several target systems can be grouped together in a target system type. Depending on the configuration of the target system type, groups and system entitlements can also be assigned to user accounts even if they belong to different target systems. Target system types are required for configuring target system comparisons. Tables with outstanding objects are maintained with the target system types and settings are configured for provisioning memberships and single objects synchronization. Target system types also map objects in the Unified Namespace.
For more information, see Target system types for custom target systems.
-
Custom schema extensions to base tables
You can display custom columns of the UNSAccountB, UNSContainerB, UNSGroupB, UNSGroupB1, UNSGroupB2, UNSGroupB3, UNSItemB, and UNSRootB tables on the forms in the Manager. To do this, modify the custom column's column definition.
For more information, see Configuring display of custom schema extensions for custom target systems.
A default application role exists for the target system manager in One Identity Manager. Assign the employees who have permission to edit all target systems in One Identity Manager to this application role.
Define additional application roles if you want to limit the permissions for target system managers to individual target systems. The application roles must be added under the default application role.
For detailed information about implementing and editing application roles, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.
Implementing application roles for target system managers
-
The One Identity Manager administrator allocates employees to be target system administrators.
-
These target system administrators add employees to the default application role for target system managers.
Target system managers with the default application role are authorized to edit all the target systems in One Identity Manager.
-
Target system managers can authorize other employees within their area of responsibility as target system managers and if necessary, create additional child application roles and assign these to individual target systems.
Table 31: Default application roles for target system managers
|
Target system managers
|
Target system managers must be assigned to the Target systems | Custom target systems application role or a child application role.
Users with this application role:
-
Assume administrative tasks for the target system.
-
Create, change, or delete target system objects.
-
Edit password policies for the target system.
-
Prepare groups and system entitlements to add to the IT Shop.

-
Edit the synchronization's target system types and outstanding objects.
-
Authorize other employees within their area of responsibility as target system managers and create child application roles if required. |
