Locations

During synchronization of data from the Oracle E-Business Suite Human Resources module, location data and the assignments of employees to locations are also imported in addition to the employee data. The locations are mapped using the E-Business Suite HR data source.

To display locations that originate from the HR data import:

  • In the Manager, select the Organizations > Locations > Data source > E-Business Suite HR category.

The main data of the imported locations can only be edited to a limited extent in One Identity Manager, because Oracle E-Business Suite is the master system for certain properties.

To edit locked main data:

  • Location

  • Description

  • Street

  • City

  • Country

You can maintain all other main data in the usual way. For more information about editing locations, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.

NOTE: Locations who were imported from Oracle E-Business Suite cannot be deleted in One Identity Manager.

Departments

During synchronization of data from the Oracle E-Business Suite's Human Resources module, department, and employee departments assignments are loaded as well as the employee data. The departments are displayed with the data source import E-Business Suite HR.

To display departments that come from importing HR data

  • In the Manager, select the Organizations > Departments > Data source > E-Business Suite HR category.

For more information about editing departments, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.

NOTE: Departments that have been imported from Oracle E-Business Suite cannot be deleted in One Identity Manager.

Handling of E-Business Suite objects in the Web Portal

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 entitlement assignments

    When an entitlement is assigned to an E-Business Suite shelf, the IT Shop entitlement can be requested by the customer in the Web Portal. The request undergoes a defined approval process. The entitlement is not assigned until it has been approved by an authorized person.

    In the Web Portal, managers and administrators of organizations can assign E-Business Suite entitlements to the departments, cost centers, or locations for which they are responsible. The entitlements are inherited by 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 in the Web Portal can assign E-Business Suite entitlements to the business roles for which they are responsible. The entitlements are inherited by all persons who are members of these business roles.

    If the System Roles Module is available, supervisors of system roles in the Web Portal can assign E-Business Suite entitlements to the system roles. The entitlements are inherited by all persons 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

    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 E-Business Suite entitlements 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.
