Creating and editing cloud user accounts

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

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

NOTE: If employees are to obtain their user accounts through account definitions, the employees 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.

To create a user account

  1. In the Manager, select the Cloud Target Systems > target system > User accounts category.

  2. Click in the result list.

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

General main data for cloud user accounts

Enter the following data on the General tab.

Table 30: User account properties
Property Description

Employee

 Employee that uses this user account. An employee is already entered if the user account was generated by an account definition. If you create the user account manually, you can select an employee in the menu. If you are using automatic employee assignment, an associated employee is found and added to the user account when you save the user account.

You can create a new employee 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 employee main data. Which login data is required depends on the selected identity type.

No link to an employee required

Specifies whether the user account is intentionally not assigned an employee. The option is automatically set if a user account is included in the exclusion list for automatic employee 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 employee (for example, if several employees 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 employee can be filtered according to various criteria.

Not linked to an employee

Indicates why the No link to an employee 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 employee due to an exclusion criterion. For example, the user account is included in the exclude list for automatic employee assignment (configuration parameter PersonExcludeList).

Target system

The user account's cloud target system.

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 employee 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 employee. 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).

Groups can be inherited

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

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

  • If an employee has requested an assignment to a system entitlement in the IT Shop and this request is approved and assigned, then the employee's user account inherits this system entitlement only if the option is enabled.
