Identity Manager 9.2.1 - Help Desk Module User Guide

Help desk

The integrated help desk functionality in One Identity Manager encompasses logging a problem, linking the data and information with identities, devices, and workdesks as well as chronological tracking of the steps and measures taken to work out a solution to the problem. Problems can be forwarded for processing or deferred for resubmitting.

NOTE: Prerequisite for the using help desk functionality in One Identity Manager is the installation of the Helpdesk Module. For more information about installing, see the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.

One Identity Manager components for report subscription are available when the Helpdesk configuration parameter is set.

  • In the Designer, check if the configuration parameter is set. Otherwise, set the configuration parameter and compile the database.

    If you disable the configuration parameter at a later date, model components and scripts that are no longer required, are disabled. SQL procedures and triggers are still carried out. For more information about the behavior of preprocessor relevant configuration parameters and conditional compiling, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.
