Adding account definitions to the IT Shop

An account definition can be requested by shop customers when it is assigned to an IT Shop shelf. To ensure it can be requested, further prerequisites need to be guaranteed.

The account definition must be labeled with the IT Shop option.
The account definition must be assigned to a service item.

TIP: In the Web Portal, all products that can be requested are grouped together by service category. To make the account definition easier to find in the Web Portal, assign a service category to the service item.
If the account definition is only assigned to employees using IT Shop assignments, you must also set the Only for use in IT Shop option. Direct assignment to hierarchical roles may not be possible.

NOTE: IT Shop administrators can assign account definitions to IT Shop shelves if login is role-based. Target system administrators are not authorized to add account definitions in the IT Shop.

To add an account definition to the IT Shop (role-based login)

In the Manager, select the Entitlements > Account definitions category.
Select an account definition in the result list.

Assigning account definitions to Unix hosts

The following prerequisites must be fulfilled if you implement automatic assignment of user accounts and employees resulting in administered user accounts (Linked configured state):

The account definition is assigned to the target system.
The account definition has the default manage level.

User accounts are only linked to the employee (Linked state) if no account definition is given. This is the case on initial synchronization, for example.

To assign the account definition to a target system

In the Manager, select the host in the Unix > Hosts category.
Select the Change main data task.
From the Account definition (initial) menu, select the account definition for user accounts.
Save the changes.
