To achieve better classification, you can define role types and assign them to role classes and roles. The following restrictions apply:

  • You can assign a role type to several role classes.

  • If you assign role types to a role class you can only select these role types for the roles of this role class. Other role types are not available for selection.

  • If you do not assign a role type to a role class, you can only use role types that are not assigned to any other role class for roles in this role class.

  • The Business role role type is predefined. This role type cannot be assigned to the Department, Cost center, or Location role classes. Assign this role type to role classes that map business roles.

Functional areas for departments, cost centers, and locations

To analyze rule checks for different areas of your company in the context of identity audit, you can set up functional areas. Functional areas can be assigned to hierarchical roles and service items. You can enter criteria that provide information about risks from rule violations for functional areas and hierarchical roles. To do this, you specify how many rule violations are permitted in a functional area or a role. You can enter separate assessment criteria for each role, such as a risk index or transparency index.

Moreover, functional areas can be replaced by peer group analysis during request approvals or attestation cases.

Example: Use of functional areas

To assess the risk of rule violations for cost centers. Proceed as follows:

  1. Set up functional areas.

  2. Assign cost centers to the functional areas.

  3. Define assessment criteria for the cost centers.

  4. Specify the number of rule violations allowed for the functional area.

  5. Assign compliance rules required for the analysis to the functional area.

  6. Use the One Identity Manager report function to create a report that prepares the result of rule checking for the functional area by any criteria.

To create or edit a functional area

  1. In the Manager, select the Organizations > Basic configuration data > Functional areas category.

  2. In the result list, select a function area and run the Change main data task.
