Assigning employees to application roles

Assigned employees obtain all the write permissions of the permission group to which the application role (or a parent application role) is assigned. In addition, employees obtain the company resources assigned to the application role.

Employees of the parent application role are inherited if no employees are directly assigned to an application role.

NOTE: The application roles for Base roles | Everyone (Change), Base roles | Everyone (Lookup), Base roles | Employee Managers, and Base roles | Birthright Assignments are automatically assigned to employees. Do not make any manually assignments to these application roles.

To assign employees to an application role

  1. In the Manager, select an application role in the One Identity Manager Administration category.
  2. Select the Assign employees task.

  3. In the Add assignments pane, add employees.

    TIP: In the Remove assignments pane, you can remove assigned employees.

    To remove an assignment

    • Select the employee and double-click .
  4. Save the changes.

Customized extension of application role edit permissions

For role-based login, the application roles require a link to a permissions group in which write permissions for One Identity Manager are defined. The application role is given access permissions of the associated permissions group. If there is no permissions group assigned, the application role gets write permissions from the parent application role.

Some of the default application roles are already assigned permissions groups. These permissions groups have the edit permissions for the tables and columns and are equipped with menu items, forms, tasks, and program functions, which allow the application data to be edited in the Manager and in the Web Portal.

You can assign customized permissions groups to application roles so that the write permissions for application roles meet your company requirements. You need to ensure that your custom permissions groups contain all the write permissions of the default permissions groups for these application roles. This allows users with these application roles to use all default One Identity Manager functionality.

NOTE: You can simplify grouping of permissions by using hierarchical linking of permissions groups. Permissions from hierarchical permissions groups are inherited from top to bottom. That means that a permissions group contains all the permissions belonging parent permissions groups.

Proceed as follows:

  1. Create a new permissions group in the Designer.

    NOTE: Set the Only use for role-based authentication option for the permissions group.
  2. In the Designer, make the new permissions group dependent on the default permissions group of the application role. Assign the default permissions group as a parent permissions group. As a result, the newly defined permissions group inherits the properties of the default permissions group.
  3. In the Designer, grant additional edit permissions for menu items, forms, tables, or columns.
  4. In the Manager, assign the new permissions group to the application role.

A user who logs in to the Manager or to the Web Portal with an application role changed in this way receives – in addition to the default privileges of this application role – the custom edit permissions.
