Permissions group properties

Table 23: Properties of a permissions group
Property	Description
Permissions group	Name of the permissions group. Label custom permission groups with the prefix CCC.
Description	Detailed description of the permissions group’s purpose.
Remarks	Text field for additional explanation.
Preprocessor condition	You can add a preprocessor condition to permissions groups. This means that the permissions group is only effective when the condition is met.
Permissions group binary pattern	The permissions group binary pattern is used to calculate effective system user permissions. It is provided by the DBQueue Processor.
Only use for role-based authentication	This group includes permissions, form assignments, menu items and program functions for role-based authentication. The permissions group can be assigned to One Identity Manager application roles and is assigned to dynamically determined system users. A direct assignment to non-dynamic system user is not permitted. NOTE: This function is available if the Identity Management Base Module is installed.

Editing system users

One Identity Manager provides various system users whose permissions are matched to the various tasks. Create your own system users if required. Add the system users to permissions groups, thereby granting the system users permissions for the tables and columns of the One Identity Manager schema and make the user interface available.

The system user's effective permissions that are found are not saved in the One Identity Manager schema, but are determined when logging into One Identity Manager tools and then they are loaded.

When installing the One Identity Manager database using the Configuration Wizard, create an administrative system user that is added to non role-based permissions groups and receives all the permissions of the viadmin default system user.

In the Designer, system users are displayed in the Permissions > System users category. This shows you an overview of the permissions groups that are assigned to each individual system user. Use the Designer to create and edit your system user in the User & Permissions Group Editor.

You can run the following tasks:

Create new system users, such as an administrative system users or system users for service accounts
Configure password settings for system users
Add system users to permission groups
Determine which employees use a system user
