Assigning extended properties to containers

Extended properties are meta objects, such as operating codes, cost codes, or cost accounting areas that cannot be mapped directly in One Identity Manager.

For more information about using extended properties, see the One Identity Manager Compliance Rules Administration Guide.

To specify extended properties for a container

  1. In the Manager, select the Custom Target Systems > <target system> > Container structure category.

  2. Select the container in the result list.

  3. Select Assign extended properties.

  4. In the Add assignments pane, assign extended properties.

    TIP: In the Remove assignments pane, you can remove assigned extended properties.

    To remove an assignment

    • Select the extended property and double-click .

  5. Save the changes.

User accounts in custom target systems

User accounts represent a target system's authentication objects. A user account obtains the required permissions for accessing target system resources through its memberships in groups and system entitlements.

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

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

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