Assigning Azure Active Directory user accounts directly to Azure Active Directory administrator roles

To react quickly to special requests, you can assign administrator roles directly to user accounts. You cannot directly assign administration roles that have the Only use in IT Shop option set.

To assign a user account directly to an administrator role.

  1. In the Manager, select the Azure Active Directory > Administrator roles category.

  2. Select the administrator role in the result list.

  3. Select the Assign user accounts task.

  4. In the Add assignments pane, assign the user accounts.

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

    To remove an assignment

    • Select the user account and double-click .

  5. Save the changes.

Azure Active Directory administrator role inheritance based on categories

The procedure described under Azure Active Directory group inheritance based on categories can also be applied for administrator roles.

To use inheritance through categories

  1. In the Manager, define the categories in the Azure Active Directory tenant.

  2. In the Manager, assign categories to user accounts through their main data.

  3. In the Manager, assign categories to administrator roles through their main data.

Managing Azure Active Directory subscription and Azure Active Directory service plan assignments

The user requires an Azure Active Directory subscription to access the service plans in Azure Active Directory. An Azure Active Directory subscription defines the scope of service plans that the user can access. Use of individual service plans by the user can be permitted or not.

Example:

The Azure Active Directory subscription A contains service plan 1, service plan 2, and the service plan 3.

  • The subscription A is assigned to the user.

  • The user is not permitted service plan 2.

Therefore, the user can use service plans 1 and 3.

In Azure Active Directory, Azure Active Directory subscriptions can be assigned to users and groups. Service plans can be permitted or not depending on the assignment method. The user obtains all the permitted service plans.

Example:

The Azure Active Directory subscription A contains service plan 1, service plan 2, and the service plan 3.

  • The Azure Active Directory subscription A is assigned directly to the user.

  • The user is not permitted service plan 2.

The Azure Active Directory subscription B contains the service plan 4, service plan 5, and the service plan 6.

  • The Azure Active Directory subscription B is assigned to group A.

  • The group A is not permitted to user service plan 6.

  • The user is in group A.

Therefore, the user can use service plans 1, 3, 4, and 5.

It is possible that a user obtains the same Azure Active Directory subscription directly as well as through one or more groups. If a service plan is permitted by one assignment method and not by another, the user is given the service plan.

Example:

The Azure Active Directory subscription A contains service plan 1, service plan 2, and the service plan 3.

  • The Azure Active Directory subscription A is assigned directly to the user.

  • The user is not permitted to use service plan 2.

  • The Azure Active Directory subscription A is assigned to group A.

  • All service plans for the group A are allowed.

  • The user is in group A.

Therefore, the user can use service plans 1, 2, and 3.

In One Identity Manager, Azure Active Directory subscriptions and service plans and their assignments to Azure Active Directory user accounts and Azure Active Directory groups are mapped as follows.

Table 19: Azure Active Directory subscription and service plans in the One Identity Manager schema map

Table

Description

AADSubSku

This table contains all Azure Active Directory subscriptions. The information about Azure Active Directory subscriptions within an Azure Active Directory tenant is loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization. You cannot create new Azure Active Directory subscription in One Identity Manager.

AADServicePlan

This table contains the service plans. The information about service plans within an Azure Active Directory tenant is loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization. You cannot create new service plans in One Identity Manager.

AADServicePlanInSubSku

This table contains service plan assignments to Azure Active Directory subscriptions. The assignments are loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization. You cannot edit the assignments in One Identity Manager.

AADDeniedServicePlan

This table contains service plan assignments to Azure Active Directory subscriptions for mapping service plans that are not permitted. The entries are created automatically in One Identity Manager after synchronizing Azure Active Directory subscriptions.

Service plans that are not permitted are called "disabled service plans" in One Identity Manager. By assigning a disabled service plans to an Azure Active Directory user account in One Identity Manager, you disable the use of this service plan in Azure Active Directory.

AADUserHasSubSku

This table contains Azure Active Directory subscription assignments to Azure Active Directory user accounts. It maps direct assignments of Azure Active Directory subscriptions to Azure Active Directory user accounts and assignments that an Azure Active Directory user accounts obtains through its Azure Active Directory groups. The assignments are loaded by synchronization.

You can assign Azure Active Directory subscriptions to Azure Active Directory user accounts in One Identity Manager either directly, though IT Shop requests, or through departments, cost centers, locations and business roles.

You cannot edit assignments by Azure Active Directory groups in One Identity Manager.

The Azure Active Directory group that an assignment results from, is mapped in the Azure Active Directory source group column (AADUserHasSubSku.UID_AADGroupSource). If the column is empty, this assignment of the Azure Active Directory subscription to the Azure Active Directory user account is created either directly, though IT Shop requests, or through departments, cost centers, locations, and business roles. Assignments through Azure Active Directory groups are marked in the Origin column with the Assignment by group value (AADUserHasSubSku.XOrigin=16).

The table also contains a list of disabled service plans from its Azure Active Directory subscriptions for each Azure Active Directory user account (AADUserHasSubSku.DenyList).

AADUserHasDeniedService

This table contains disabled service plan assignments to Azure Active Directory user accounts. The entries are taken from the list of disabled service plans (AADUserHasSubSku.DenyList).

You can assign disabled service plans to Azure Active Directory user accounts in One Identity Manager either directly, though IT Shop requests, or through departments, cost centers, locations and business roles. By assigning a disabled service plan, you disable the use of this service plan in Azure Active Directory.

NOTE: A disabled service plan that is assigned to a user account can be permitted if the user accounts obtains the service plan additional through a group and the service plan for the group is allowed. The assignment by group is not mapped in this table.

AADUserHasServicePlan

This table contains the service plan assignments for Azure Active Directory user accounts that are in effect. The assignments are calculated in One Identity Manager from the entries in the AADUserHasSubSku, AADUserHasDeniedService, AADGroupHasSubSku, and AADGroupHasDeniedService tables.

AADGroupHasSubSku

This table contains Azure Active Directory subscription assignments to Azure Active Directory groups. This table also contains a list of disabled service plans from its Azure Active Directory subscriptions for each Azure Active Directory group (AADUserHasSubSku.DenyList).

The assignments are loaded into One Identity Manager by synchronization. You cannot edit the assignments in One Identity Manager.

AADGroupHasDeniedService

This table contains disabled service plan assignments to Azure Active Directory groups. The entries are taken from the list of disabled service plans (AADGroupHasSubSku.DenyList). You cannot edit the assignments in One Identity Manager.
