Base Data for Structuring Departments, Cost Centers and Locations

The following basic information is relevant for building up hierarchical roles in One Identity Manager.

  • Configuration Parameter

    Use configuration parameters to configure the behavior of the system's basic settings. One Identity Manager provides default settings for different configuration parameters. Check the configuration parameters and modify them as necessary to suit your requirements.

    Configuration parameters are defined in the One Identity Manager modules. Each One Identity Manager module can also install configuration parameters. You can find an overview of all configuration parameters in the category Base data | General | Configuration parameters in the Designer.

  • Roles Classes

    Role classes form the basis of mapping from hierarchical roles in the One Identity Manager. Role classes are used to group similar roles together.

  • Role Types

    Create role types in order to classify roles. Roles types can be used to map roles in the user interface, for example.

  • Functional areas

    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 roles. You can enter criteria that provide information about risks from rule violations for functional areas and roles.

  • Attestors

    In One Identity Manager, you can assign employees to departments, cost centers and locations that can be brought in as attestors in attestation cases when the approval workflow is set up accordingly. To do this, assign the departments, cost centers and locations to application roles for attestors. A default application role for attestors is available in One Identity Manager. Assign employees that are authorized to attest permissions, requests or other data stored in the One Identity Manager to this application role. You may create other application roles as required. For more detailed information about implementing and editing application roles, see the One Identity Manager Application Roles Administration Guide.

  • Approvers and Approvers (IT)
