Basic principles for assigning company resources

You can assign company resources to employees, devices, and workdesks in the One Identity Manager. You can use different assignments types to assign company resources.

Assignments types are:

Direct company resource assignments

Direct assignment of company resources results from the assignment of a company resource to an employee, device, or workdesk, for example. Direct assignment of company resources makes it easier to react to special requirements.

Indirect company resource assignments

In the case of indirect assignment of company resources, employees, devices, and workdesks are arranged in departments, cost centers, locations, business roles, or application roles. The total of assigned company resources for an employee, device, or workdesk is calculated from the position within the hierarchies, the direction of inheritance (top-down or bottom-up) and the company resources assigned to these roles. In the Indirect assignment methods a difference between primary and secondary assignment is taken into account.

Secondary assignment

You make a secondary assignment by classifying an employee, a device, or a workdesk within a role hierarchy. Secondary assignment is the default method for assigning and inheriting company resources through roles. In the role classes for departments, locations, cost centers, business roles, and application roles, specify whether a secondary assignment of company resources to employees, device, and workdesk is possible.
