General main data for Unix groups

Enter the following data on the General tab.

Table 27: General main data
Property	Description
Group name	Name of the group.
Group ID	Group's identifier.
Host	Group's host.
IT Shop	Specifies whether the group can be requested through the IT Shop. If this option is set, the group can be requested by the employees through the Web Portal and distributed with a defined approval process. The group can still be assigned directly to hierarchical roles.
Only for use in IT Shop	Specifies whether the group can only be requested through the IT Shop. If this option is set, the group can be requested by the employees through the Web Portal and distributed with a defined approval process. Direct assignment of the group to hierarchical roles or user accounts is not permitted.
Service item	Service item data for requesting the group through the IT Shop.
Risk index	Value for evaluating the risk of assigning the group to user accounts. Set a value in the range 0 to 1. This input field is only visible if the QER \| CalculateRiskIndex configuration parameter is activated. For more detailed information about risk assessment, see the One Identity Manager Risk Assessment Administration Guide.
Category	Categories for group inheritance. Groups can be selectively inherited by user accounts. To do this, groups and user accounts are divided into categories. Select one or more categories from the menu.

Adding Unix groups to Unix groups

Use this task to add a group to another group. This means that the groups can be hierarchically structured.

To assign groups directly to a group as members

In the Manager, select the Unix > Groups category.
Select the group in the result list.
Select the Assign groups category.
Select the Has members tab.
Assign child groups in Add assignments.
TIP: In the Remove assignments pane, you can remove the assignment of groups.

To remove an assignment
- Select the group and double-click .
Save the changes.

To add a group as a member of other groups

In the Manager, select the Unix > Groups category.
Select the group in the result list.
Select the Assign groups task.
Select the Is member of tab.
In the Add assignments pane, assign parent groups.
TIP: In the Remove assignments pane, you can remove the assignment of groups.

To remove an assignment
- Select the group and double-click .
Save the changes.

Assigning extended properties to Unix groups

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

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

To specify extended properties for a group

In the Manager, select the Unix > Groups category.
Select the group in the result list.
Select Assign extended properties.
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 .
Save the changes.

Deleting Unix groups

The group is deleted completely from the One Identity Manager database and from Unix.

To delete a group

In the Manager, select the Unix > Groups category.
Select the group in the result list.
Click in the result list.
Confirm the security prompt with Yes.
