In order for an employee to create user accounts with the manage level "Full managed", the necessary IT operating data must be determined. The operating data required to automatically supply an employee with IT resources is shown in the departments, locations, cost centers, and business roles. An employee is assigned to one primary location, one primary department, one primary cost center or one primary business role. The necessary IT operating data is ascertained from these assignments and used in creating the user accounts. Default values are used if valid IT operating data cannot be found over the primary roles.
You can also specify IT operating data directly for a specific account definition.

Before you can run the templates, you can check what the effect of a change to the IT operating data has on the existing user accounts. You can decide whether the change is transferred to the database in the case of each affected column in each affected database.

Account definitions are assigned to company employees. Indirect assignment is the default method for assigning account definitions to employees. Account definitions are assigned to departments, cost centers, locations or roles. The employees are categorized into these departments, cost centers, locations or roles depending on their function in the company and thus obtain their account definitions. To react quickly to special requests, you can assign individual account definitions directly to employees. You can automatically assign special account definitions to all company employees. It is possible to assign account definitions to the IT Shop as requestable products. A department manager can then request user accounts from the Web Portal for his staff. It is also possible to add account definitions to system roles. These system roles can be assigned to employees through hierarchical roles or directly or added as products in the IT Shop.
In the One Identity Manager default installation, the processes are checked at the start to see if the employee already has a user account in the target system that has an account definition. If no user account exists, a new user account is created with the account definition’s default manage level.
|
Note: If a user account already exists and is disabled, then it is re-enabled. You have to alter the user account manage level afterwards in this case. |
