The PAM user account overview

For a user account, you see an overview of the user groups and entitlements associated with the user account. For directory users, the associated Active Directory user account or LDAP user account is displayed.

To obtain an overview of a user account

  1. In the Manager, select the Privileged Account Management | User accounts category.

  2. Select the user account in the result list.

  3. Select the PAM user account overview task.

Assigning extended properties to PAM user accounts

Extended properties are meta objects, such as operating codes, cost codes, or cost accounting areas that cannot be mapped directly in One Identity Manager.

To specify extended properties for a user account

  1. In the Manager, select the Privileged Account Management | User accounts category.

  2. Select the user account in the result list.

  3. Select the Assign extended properties task.

  4. In the Add assignments pane, assign extended properties.

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

    To remove an assignment

    • Select the extended property and double-click .
  5. Save the changes.

For detailed information about extended properties, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.

Disabling PAM user accounts

The way you disable user accounts depends on how they are managed.

Scenario:

  • The user account is linked to employees and is managed through account definitions.

User accounts managed through account definitions are disabled when the employee is temporarily or permanently disabled. The behavior depends on the user account manage level. Accounts with the Full managed manage level are disabled depending on the account definition settings. For user accounts with a manage level, configure the required behavior using the template in the PAGUser.IsDisabled column.

Scenario:

  • The user accounts are linked to employees. No account definition is applied.

User accounts managed through user account definitions are disabled when the employee is temporarily or permanently disabled. The behavior depends on the QER | Person | TemporaryDeactivation configuration parameter

  • If the configuration parameter is set, the employee’s user accounts are disabled when the employee is permanently or temporarily disabled.

  • If the configuration parameter is not set, the employee’s properties do not have any effect on the associated user accounts.

To disable the user account when the configuration parameter is disabled

  1. In the Manager, select the Privileged Account Management | User accounts category.

  2. Select the user account in the result list.

  3. Select the Change master data task.

  4. On the General tab, set the Account is disabled option.

  5. Save the changes.
Scenario:
  • User accounts not linked to employees.

To disable a user account that is no longer linked to an employee

  1. In the Manager, select the Privileged Account Management | User accounts category.

  2. Select the user account in the result list.

  3. Select the Change master data task.

  4. On the General tab, set the Account is disabled option.

  5. Save the changes.

For more detailed information about deactivating and deleting employees and user accounts, see the One Identity Manager Target System Base Module Administration Guide.

Deleting and restoring PAM user accounts

If a user account is deleted in One Identity Manager, it is initially marked for deletion. The user account is therefore locked. Depending on the deferred deletion setting, the user account is either deleted from the One Identity Manager database immediately, or at a later date.

NOTE: As long as an account definition for an employee is valid, the employee retains the user account that was created by it. If the assignment of an account definition is removed, the user account that was created from this account definition is deleted.

To delete a user account that is not managed using an account definition

  1. In the Manager, select the Privileged Account Management | User accounts category.

  2. Select the user account in the result list.

  3. Click to delete the user account.

  4. Confirm the security prompt with Yes.

To restore a user account

  1. In the Manager, select the Privileged Account Management | User accounts category.

  2. Select the user account in the result list.

  3. Click in the result list.

Configuring deferred deletion

By default, user accounts are finally deleted from the database after 30 days.The user accounts are initially disabled. You can reenable the user accounts until deferred deletion is run. After deferred deletion is run, the user accounts are deleted from the database and cannot be restored anymore.In the Designer, you can set an alternative delay on the PAGUser table.
