Managing Resources

Managing Resources

The One Identity Manager not only offers the possibility to map IT resources but also non-IT resources such as mobile telephones, desks, company cars and keys i.e, everything that is necessary to create an efficient working environment for an employee. You can assign resources directly to an employee or through classification into hierarchical roles in the One Identity Manager. Similarly, you can resources request for an employee through the IT Shop.

Resources are divided up from a functional point of view.

Table 69: Resource Types
Type Description Table
Resources Resources that an employee (workstation, device) may own just once.

The resources can be requested in the IT Shop just once. The resources are assigned to the employees after approval has been granted. They remain assigned until the request is canceled. You can request them again a later point.

Examples: phones, company cars

QERResource
Multi-request resources Resources that can be requested more than once in the IT Shop. Requests are automatically canceled once approved. The resources are not explicitly assigned to employees.

Example: consumables, like pens, printer paper

QERReuse
Multi-requestable/unsubscribable resources Resources which an employee can request more than once in the IT Shop but must return them explicitly once they are no longer needed. The resources are assigned to the employees after approval has been granted. They remain assigned until the request is canceled.

Example: printer, monitor
