Managing software

One Identity Manager allows you to manage software applications comfortably and to assign them to employees. In the Manager, individual software applications can be created and combined into software packages. The software and software packages are assigned to employees. You can make assignments directly or indirectly by assigning them to hierarchical roles. Software and software packages can be requested through the IT Shop.

One Identity Manager components for managing software are available if the "Software" and "Software | Application" configuration parameters are set.

Check whether the configuration parameters are set in the Designer. Otherwise, set the configuration parameters and compile the database.
