Rule Supervisors

Rule Supervisors

You can assign compliance rules to employees that are responsible for rule content. This may be an auditor or a auditing department, for example. To do this, assign compliance rules to an application role for rule supervisors. Assign employees to this application role, who are authorized to edit working copies of compliance rules.

A default application role for target system managers is available in One Identity Manager. You may create other application roles as required. For more information about application roles, see the One Identity Manager Application Roles Administration Guide.
