Creating rule conditions

In the rule condition, combine all the entitlements that lead to a rule violation. The affected employee group and entitlements are restricted separately in the rule condition. Employees and identities that the rule condition will be applied to, are determined by the employee group. The properties that result in a rule violation for the affected employees, are defined by the affected entitlements. The entitlements are determined through the object relations of the affected employees (PersonHasObject table).

TIP: If the QER | ComplianceCheck | SimpleMode | NonSimpleAllowed configuration parameter is set, rule conditions can be created in advanced mode as well as in the simplified definition.

To use the simplified definition

  • In the rule’s general main data, enable the Rule for cyclical testing and risk assessment in IT Shop option.

For more information, see Rule conditions in advanced mode.

Basics for using the Rule Editor

The Rule Editor is there to help you formulate rule conditions. You can use predefined condition type and operator for this. The complete database query is composed internally. If the QER | ComplianceCheck | SimpleMode | ShowDescriptions configuration parameter is set, additional input fields are displayed in the simplified definition, providing a more detailed description of each rule block.

Figure 2: Rule Editor for simple definition of rules

The Rule Editor control elements supply operators and properties that you need for formulating partial conditions. You can only select one entry from the drop-down menu. You can select more entries from extended drop-down menus, where the properties are displayed hierarchically and then added to the condition using an "or" operator. You may enter text directly into input fields. Pop-up menus and input fields are shown and hidden dynamically.

A rule condition is made up of several rule blocks. A rule violation is detected when an employee, with properties and assignments, can be matched to all the rule blocks.

There are two types of rule blocks:

  • Affected groups of employees

    Each rule must obtain exactly one rule block that specifies the employee group that the rule should be applied to. By default, all employees with all identities are taken into account. You can, however, restrict the employee groups more.

  • Entitlements affected

    You need to define at least one rule block that finds affected entitlements. The properties that result in a rule violation in the employee group affected are defined here. You can check the following entitlements in the rule block: roles, target system groups, system entitlements, system roles, software, resources.

You can add any number of partial conditions within one rule block and link them with each other using the Rule Editor. Use the options All and At least one to specify whether one or all partial conditions in the block have to be fulfilled.

Specifying the affected employee group

Each rule has to contain exactly one rule block which specifies the employee group.

Use the following to options to limit the affected employee groups.

  • From all employees

    All employees are taken into account.

  • Only from employees that fulfill all/at least one of the following conditions

    You can limit the employee group with a condition, for example, "All employees in group A" or "All external employees". To determine the affected employee group, formulate the appropriate partial conditions.

    You can specify a condition type in the first pop-up menu of the partial condition which restricts the affected employee group.

    The rule is ...

    Condition

    violated

    The sub-identity or main identity of an employee fulfills the rule condition.

    not violated

    The main identity fulfills the rule condition only due to its sub-identities.

  • The combination of all identities

    The rule is violated:

    • if an employee's sub-identity or main identity fulfills the rule condition

      - OR -

    • if the main identity fulfills the rule condition only due to its sub-identities.

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