Azure Active Directory policies for token lifetime

You can use Azure Active Directory token lifetime policies to specify the validity of token for logging in. To provide an Azure Active Directory token lifetime policy for an Azure Active Directory application, you assign the policy to the Azure Active Directory application. For more information, see the Azure Active Directory documentation from Microsoft.

Azure Active Directory token lifetime policies are loaded into One Identity Manager during synchronization and cannot be changed.

To display information about an Azure Active Directory policy

  1. In the Manager, select the Azure Active Directory > Tenants > <your tenant> > Policies > Token lifetime policies category.

  2. In the result list, select the Azure Active Directory policy.

  3. Select one of the following tasks:

    • Token lifetime policy overview: This shows you an overview of the Azure Active Directory policy and its dependencies.

    • Change main data: Shows the Azure Active Directory policy's main data. You cannot edit the main data.

      • Display name: The Azure Active Directory policy's display name.

      • Description: Description of the Azure Active Directory policy.

      • Definition: Definition of the Azure Active Directory in JSON format.

      • Tenant: Azure Active Directory tenant that owns the policy.

      • Default policy: Specifies whether this is the Azure Active Directory tenant's default policy.

Azure Active Directory user accounts

You use One Identity Manager to manage user accounts in Azure Active Directory. The user requires a subscription to access the service plans in Azure Active Directory. Azure Active Directory user accounts obtain the required access permissions to the resources through membership in groups.

Creating and editing Azure Active Directory user accounts

A user account can be linked to an identity in One Identity Manager. You can also manage user accounts separately from identities.

NOTE: It is recommended to use account definitions to set up user accounts for company identities. In this case, some of the main data described in the following is mapped through templates from identity main data.

NOTE: If identities are to obtain their user accounts through account definitions, the identities must own a central user account and obtain their IT operating data through assignment to a primary department, a primary location, or a primary cost center.

TIP: You can combine the account definition for creating the user account and the subscription that will be used into one system role. In this way, the identity automatically obtains a user account and a subscription.

An identity can obtain this system role directly through departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles, or an IT Shop request.

To create a user account

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

  2. Click in the result list.

  3. On the main data form, edit the main data of the user account.

  4. Save the changes.

To edit main data of a user account

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

  2. Select the user account in the result list.

  3. Select the Change main data task.

  4. Edit the user account's resource data.

  5. Save the changes.

To manually assign a user account for an identity

  1. In the Manager, select the Identities > Identities category.

  2. Select the identity in the result list.

  3. Select the Assign Azure Active Directory user accounts task.

  4. Assign a user account.

  5. Save the changes.

General main data of Azure Active Directory user accounts

Enter the following general main data.

Table 28: Additional main data of a user account
Property Description

Identity

Identity that uses this user account.

  • An identity is already entered if the user account was generated by an account definition.

  • If you are using automatic identity assignment, an associated identity is found and added to the user account when you save the user account.

  • If you create the user account manually, you can select an identity in the menu.

    The menu displays activated and deactivated identities by default. If you do not want to see any deactivated identities, set the QER | Person| HideDeactivatedIdentities configuration parameter.

NOTE: If you assign a deactivated identity to a user account, it might be locked or deleted depending on the configuration.

You can create a new identity for a user account with an identity of type Organizational identity, Personalized administrator identity, Sponsored identity, Shared identity, or Service identity. To do this, click next to the input field and enter the required identity main data. Which login data is required depends on the selected identity type.

No link to an identity required

Specifies whether the user account is intentionally not assigned an identity. The option is automatically set if a user account is included in the exclusion list for automatic identity assignment or a corresponding attestation is carried out. You can set the option manually. Enable the option if the user account does not need to be linked with an identity (for example, if several identities use the user account).

If attestation approves these user accounts, these user accounts will not be submitted for attestation in the future. In the Web Portal, user accounts that are not linked to an identity can be filtered according to various criteria.

Not linked to an identity

Indicates why the No link to an identity required option is enabled for this user account. Possible values:

  • By administrator: The option was set manually by the administrator.

  • By attestation: The user account was attested.

  • By exclusion criterion: The user account is not associated with an identity due to an exclusion criterion. For example, the user account is included in the exclude list for automatic identity assignment (configuration parameter PersonExcludeList).

Account definition

Account definition through which the user account was created.

Use the account definition to automatically fill user account main data and to specify a manage level for the user account. One Identity Manager finds the IT operating data of the assigned identity and enters it in the corresponding fields in the user account.

NOTE: The account definition cannot be changed once the user account has been saved.

NOTE: Use the user account's Remove account definition task to reset the user account to Linked status. This removes the account definition from both the user account and the identity. The user account remains but is not managed by the account definition anymore. The task only removes account definitions that are directly assigned (XOrigin=1).

Manage level

 Manage level of the user account. Select a manage level from the menu. You can only specify the manage level can if you have also entered an account definition. All manage levels of the selected account definition are available in the menu.
