Deleting and restoring Azure Active Directory user accounts

NOTE: As long as an account definition for an employee is valid, the employee retains the user account that was created by it. If the account definition assignment is removed, the user account that was created from this account definition, is deleted.

You can delete a user account that was not created using an account definition through the result list or from the menu bar. After you have confirmed the security alert the user account is marked for deletion in the One Identity Manager. The user account is locked in One Identity Manager and permanently deleted from the One Identity Manager database and the target system depending on the deferred deletion setting.

For more information about deactivating and deleting employees and user accounts, see the One Identity Manager Target System Base Module Administration Guide.

To delete a user account that is not managed using an account definition

  1. In the Manager, select the Azure Active Directory > User accounts category.

  2. Select the user account in the result list.

  3. Click in the result list.
  4. Confirm the security prompt with Yes.

To restore a user account

Azure Active Directory groups

Azure Active Directory recognizes several group types into which you can organize users and groups to regulate access to resources or email distribution, for example.

Azure Active Directory groups are loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization. You can edit individual main data of the group and you can create new security groups in One Identity Manager. However, you cannot create more group types in One Identity Manager.

To add users to groups, you assign the groups directly to users. This can be assignments of groups to departments, cost centers, locations, business roles, or the IT Shop.

NOTE: Assignments to Azure Active Directory groups that are synchronized with the local Active Directory are not allowed in One Identity Manager. These groups cannot be requested through the web portal. You can only manage these groups in your locally. For more information, see the Azure Active Directory documentation from Microsoft.

The group types supported in One Identity Manager are listed below.

Table 33: Support groups types

Group type

Description

Security group

Resource permissions are distributed through security groups. User accounts and other groups are added to security groups, which makes administration easier.

Security groups are loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization. You can edit security groups in One Identity Manager and also create new ones.

Office 365 group

Office 365 groups are loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization. You can edit Office 365 groups in One Identity Manager but

you can only create new Office 365 groups in One Identity Manager if the Exchange Online Module in installed. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Administration Guide for Connecting to Exchange Online.

Mail-enabled security groups

Mail-enabled security groups are security groups that are used as distribution groups.

Mail-enabled security groups are loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization. You can edit mail-enabled security groups in One Identity Manager but you can only create new mail-enabled security groups in One Identity Manager if the Exchange Online Module is installed. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Administration Guide for Connecting to Exchange Online.

Dynamic group

Members of a dynamic group are not strictly assigned, but determined through defined rules. Dynamic groups are loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization. You can change dynamic groups in One Identity Manager. You cannot create new dynamic groups in One Identity Manager.
