Compliance Rules and Identity Audit

Table 1: Configuration Parameters for Identity Audit
Configuration parameter Meaning
QER\ComplianceCheck Preprocessor relevant configuration parameter to control component parts for Identity Audit. Changes to the parameter require recompiling the database.

If the parameter is set the components can be used.

The One Identity Manager can be used to define rules that maintain and monitor regulatory requirements and automatically deal with rule violations. Define compliance rules, to test entitlements or combinations of entitlements in the context of identity audit for employees in the company. On the one hand, existing rule violations can be found by checking rules. On the other hand, possible rule violations can be preemptively identified and this prevented.

Figure 1: Identity Audit in One Identity Manager

Simple rule examples are:

  • An employee may not obtain two entitlements A and B at the same time.
  • Only employees with a particular department can have a particular entitlement.
  • Every user account has to have a manager assigned to it.

You can use the identity audit function of the One Identity Manager to:

  • Define rules for any employee assignments
  • Evaluate the risk of possible rule violations
  • Specify mitigating controls
  • Initiate regular or spontaneous rule checks
  • Detailed testing of edit permissions for employees within an SAP client (using SAP functions)
  • Evaluate rule violations with differing criteria
  • Create reports about rules and rule violations

Based on this information, you can make corrections to data in the One Identity Manager and transfer them to the connected target systems. The integrated report function in the One Identity Manager can be used to provide information for the appropriate tests.

To use the identity audit function

  • Set the configuration parameter "QER\ComplianceCheck" in the Designer.
