Modify IT operating data

If IT operating data changes, you must transfer the changes to the existing user accounts. To do this, templates must be rerun on the affected columns. Before you can run the templates, you can check what effect a change to the IT operating data has on the existing user accounts. You can decide whether the change is transferred to the One Identity Manager database in the case of each affected column in each affected database.

Prerequisites
  • The IT operating data of a department, a cost center, or a location have been changed.

    - OR -

  • The default values in the IT operating data template were modified for an account definition.

NOTE: If the assignment of an identity to a primary department, cost center, or to a primary location changes, the templates are automatically run.

To run the template

  1. In the Manager, select the <target system type> > Basic configuration data > Account definitions > Account definitions category.

  2. Select an account definition in the result list.

  3. Select the Run templates task.

    This displays a list of all user accounts that were created with the selected account definition and whose properties were changed by modifying the IT operating data. That means:

    • Old value: Value of the object property before changing the IT operating data.

    • New value: Value of the object property after changing the IT operating data.

    • Selection: Specifies whether the new value is copied to the user account.

  4. Mark all the object properties in the selection column that will be given the new value.

  5. Click Apply.

    The templates are applied to all selected user accounts and properties.

Assigning identities, devices, and workdesks to departments, cost centers, and locations

Assign identities, devices, and workdesks to departments, cost centers, and locations. Identities, devices, and workdesks can obtain their company resources through these organizations.

To add identities, devices, and workdesks to a hierarchical role

  1. In the Manager, select the Organizations > <role class> category.

  2. Select the role in the result list.

  3. Select the appropriate task.

    • Assign identities

    • Assign devices

    • Assign workdesks

  4. In the Add assignments pane, assign objects.

    TIP: In the Remove assignments pane, you can remove object assignments.

    To remove an assignment

    • Select the object and double-click .
  5. Save the changes.

TIP: Use dynamic roles to assign identities, devices, and workdesks to departments, cost centers, and locations automatically.

Assigning company resources to departments, cost centers, and locations

The default method of assigning identities, devices, and workdesks is indirect assignment. This allocates an identity, a device or a workdesk to departments, cost centers, or locations. The total of assigned company resources for an identity, a device or workdesk is calculated from their position within the hierarchy, the direction of inheritance and the company resources assigned to these roles.

Indirect assignment is divided into:

  • Secondary assignment

    You make a secondary assignment by classifying an identity, a device, or a workdesk within a role hierarchy. Secondary assignment is the default method for assigning and inheriting company resources through roles.

    IMPORTANT: You use role classes to specify whether a secondary assignment of company resources is possible.

    If an identity, device or a workdesk fulfills the requirements of a dynamic role, the object is added dynamically to the corresponding company structure and can obtain company resources through it.

  • Primary assignment

    You make a primary assignment using a department, cost center, or location foreign key reference in identity, device and workdesk objects. Primary assignment inheritance can be enable through configuration parameters.

You must assign company resources to departments, cost centers, or locations so that identities, devices, and workdesks can inherit company resources. The following table shows the possible company resources assignments.

NOTE: Company resources are defined in the One Identity Manager modules and are not available until the modules are installed.
