Table 7: Main data for an account definition

Property

Description

Account definition

Account definition name.

User account table

Table in the One Identity Manager schema that maps user accounts.

Target system

Target system to which the account definition applies.

Required account definition

Specifies the required account definition. Define the dependencies between account definitions. When this account definition is requested or assigned, the required account definition is assigned automatically.

Leave empty for Unix hosts.

Description

Text field for additional explanation.

Manage level (initial)

Manage level to use by default when you add new user accounts.

Risk index

Value for evaluating the risk of assigning the account definition to identities. Set a value in the range 0 to 1. This input field is only visible if the QER | CalculateRiskIndex configuration parameter is set.

For more information, see the One Identity Manager Risk Assessment Administration Guide.

Service item

Service item through which you can request the account definition resource in the IT Shop. Assign an existing service item or add a new one.

IT Shop

Specifies whether the account definition can be requested through the IT Shop. This account definition can be requested through the Web Portal and allocated by defined approval processes. The resource can also be assigned directly to identities and roles outside the IT Shop.

Only for use in IT Shop

Specifies whether the account definition can only be requested through the IT Shop. This account definition can be requested through the Web Portal and allocated by defined approval processes. The account definition cannot be directly assigned to roles outside the IT Shop.

Automatic assignment to identities

Specifies whether the account definition is automatically assigned to all internal identities. To automatically assign the account definition to all internal identity, use the Enable automatic assignment to identities The account definition is assigned to every identity that is not marked as external. Once a new internal identity is created, they automatically obtain this account definition.

To automatically remove the account definition assignment from all identities, use the Disable automatic assignment to identities. The account definition cannot be reassigned to identities from this point on. Existing account definition assignments remain intact.

Retain account definition if permanently disabled

Specifies the account definition assignment to permanently deactivated identities.

Option set: The account definition assignment remains in effect. The user account remains intact.

Option not set (default): The account definition assignment is not in effect. The associated user account is deleted.

Retain account definition if temporarily disabled

Specifies the account definition assignment to temporarily deactivated identities.

Option set: The account definition assignment remains in effect. The user account remains intact.

Option not set (default): The account definition assignment is not in effect. The associated user account is deleted.

Retain account definition on deferred deletion

Specifies the account definition assignment on deferred deletion of identities.

Option set: The account definition assignment remains in effect. The user account remains intact.

Option not set (default): The account definition assignment is not in effect. The associated user account is deleted.

Retain account definition on security risk

Specifies the account definition assignment to identities posing a security risk.

Option set: The account definition assignment remains in effect. The user account remains intact.

Option not set (default): The account definition assignment is not in effect. The associated user account is deleted.

Resource type

Resource type for grouping account definitions.

Spare field 01 - spare field 10

Additional company-specific information. Use the Designer to customize display names, formats, and templates for the input fields.

Groups can be inherited

Specifies whether the user account can inherit groups through the linked identity. If the option is set, the user account inherits groups through hierarchical roles, in which the identity is a member, or through IT Shop requests.

  • If you add an identity with a user account to a department, for example, and you have assigned groups to this department, the user account inherits these groups.

  • If an identity has requested group membership in the IT Shop and the request is granted approval, the identity's user account only inherits the group if the option is set.

Editing manage levels

One Identity Manager supplies a default configuration for manage levels:

  • Unmanaged: User accounts with the Unmanaged manage level are linked to the identity but they do no inherit any further properties. When a new user account is added with this manage level and an identity is assigned, some of the identity's properties are transferred initially. If the identity properties are changed at a later date, the changes are not passed onto the user account.

  • Full managed: User accounts with the Full managed manage level inherit defined properties of the assigned identity. When a new user account is created with this manage level and an identity is assigned, the identity's properties are transferred in an initial state. If the identity properties are changed at a later date, the changes are passed onto the user account.

NOTE: The Full managed and Unmanaged manage levels are analyzed in templates. You can customize the supplied templates in the Designer.

You can define other manage levels depending on your requirements. You need to amend the templates to include manage level approaches.

Specify how an identity's temporary deactivation, permanent deactivation, deletion, and security risks affect its user accounts and group memberships at each manage level. For more information about manage levels, see the One Identity Manager Target System Base Module Administration Guide.

  • Identity user accounts can be locked when they are disabled, deleted, or rated as a security risk so that permissions are immediately withdrawn. If the identity is reinstated at a later date, the user accounts are also reactivated.

  • You can also define group membership inheritance. Inheritance can be discontinued if desired when, for example, the identity’s user accounts are disabled and therefore cannot be members in groups. During this time, no inheritance processes should be calculated for this identity. Existing group memberships are deleted.

To edit a manage level

  1. In the Manager, select the Unix > Basic configuration data > Account definitions > Manage levels category.

  2. Select the manage level in the result list.

  3. Select the Change main data task.

  4. Edit the manage level's main data.
