One Identity Manager Data Governance Edition IT Shop Resource Access Requests User Guide Resource access requests Share creation requests PowerShell commands

Restriction list based on business role

The Business Role module is an optional module that can be purchased with One Identity Manager. If this module is installed (selected on the Module selection page of the Setup wizard), you can restrict employees from seeing (and consequentially requesting access to) governed data that has been published to the IT Shop based on their business role assignments.

By defining a business role restriction list, only those employees who are assigned the selected business roles are able to see and request access to a governed resource.

To restrict access to a resource in the IT Shop (Data Governance Administrator)

  1. In the Manager, open the Governed data view.

    • From the Data Governance navigation view, select Governed data.
    • From the Managed hosts view, navigate to the required managed host, select Governed data from the Tasks view or right-click menu.
  2. Select the required resource and then select Change governed resource master data in the Tasks view or right-click menu.

  3. Select Assign business roles in the Tasks view or right-click menu.

    The Business Roles assignment page appears allowing you to select from a list of business roles.

  4. In the lower pane, double-click the business roles to be assigned to the resource.
  5. When finished with the assignments, click the Save toolbar button.

To restrict access to an owned resource in the IT Shop (Only for Business Owners who also have Data Governance Administrator role)

Note: Business owners who have both the Data Governance | Administrators and Data Governance | Direct Owners application roles assigned, can use the web portal to define who can see and access owned resources.

  1. Log on to the One Identity Manager web portal.
  2. From the menu bar, select Responsibilities | My Responsibilities.
  3. On the My Responsibilities view, select the Governed Data tile.
  4. On the Governed data view, select a governed resource.
  5. Click the Master data tab.
  6. Click the Assign button to the right of Business Roles.

  7. In the Assign dialog, use the left pane to select the business roles to be assigned to the selected resource.

    Once selected, the business role appears in the Assigned pane (right pane) and the icon to the left of the business role changes to a check mark. To remove a business role, select the business role from the Assigned pane. The icon to the left of the business role changes back to an X and is removed from the Assigned pane.

    Click OK to save your selections and close the Assign dialog.

  8. When finished with the assignments, click the Save button.

Requesting access to a governed resource

All active employees automatically become members of the Identity & Access Lifestyle shop, which is installed by default, and can therefore make requests, including access requests to governed resources.

File system and SharePoint resources placed under governance and published to the IT Shop are available for self-service requests through the Resource Access service category in the web portal. Selecting the Resource Access service category on the Request page displays a Request page allowing you to request access to governed file system resources or SharePoint resources.

For detailed instructions on how to create resource access requests, see:

Requesting access to a file system resource

Using the IT Shop, you can request access to the following types of file system resources:

    Note: By default, all available resources are shown; however, you can use the Managed host's Assign link to limit the search to a specific managed host.

  6. The My Shopping Cart page appears, which lists the resources selected on the previous page (and any other requests in your shopping cart). This page also contains a details pane allowing you to specify detailed information for each individual request. If no information is entered in the details pane, a read access request with no time limit is created.

    Note: To return to your shopping cart (for example, your session times out before you have completed your request submission), select Requests not yet submitted from the Home page. You can also click the shopping cart icon ( ) in the upper right corner of the page and select Shopping Cart.

    The Shopping Cart page closes and a "The request was successfully submitted" message appears at the top of the My Shopping Cart page.
