Default solutions for requesting Active Directory groups and group memberships

In One Identity Manager, standard products and default approval workflows are provided for requesting Active Directory groups and membership in these groups through the IT Shop. Permissions in this target system are therefore issued by defined approval processes. In the Web Portal, product owners and target system managers can edit properties of these groups and request changes.

For more information about this, see the One Identity Manager Web Designer Web Portal User Guide.

Adding Active Directory groups

By requesting this standard product, you can add new security groups or distribution groups in the Active Directory. The requester provides information about the name, container, and domain, if known, of the request. Based on this information, the target system manager specifies the container in which the group will be added and grants approval for the request. The group is created in One Identity Manager and published to the target system.
