Assigning account definitions to Azure Active Directory tenants

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

  1. In the Manager, select the Azure Active Directory tenant in the Azure Active Directory > Tenants category.

  2. Select the Change main data task.

  3. From the Account definition (initial) menu, select the account definition for user accounts.

  4. From the Mail contact definition (initial) menu, select the account definition for mail contacts.

  5. From the Mail user definition (initial) menu, select the account definition for mail users.

  6. Save the changes.

Target system managers for Exchange Online

A default application role exists for the target system manager in One Identity Manager. Assign the employees who have permission to edit all Exchange Online objects in One Identity Manager to this application role.

Define additional application roles if you want to limit the permissions for target system managers to individual tenants with Exchange Online. The application roles must be added under the default application role.

For detailed information about implementing and editing application roles, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.

Implementing application roles for target system managers
  1. The One Identity Manager administrator allocates employees to be target system administrators.

  2. These target system administrators add employees to the default application role for target system managers.

    Target system managers with the default application role are authorized to edit all the Exchange Online objects in One Identity Manager.

  3. Target system managers can authorize other employees within their area of responsibility as target system managers and if necessary, create additional child application roles and assign these to individual clients.

    Use this task if the Job server has already been declared in One Identity Manager and you want to configure special functions for the Job server.

To edit a Job server and its functions

  1. In the Manager, select the Azure Active Directory > Basic configuration data > Server category.

  2. Select the Job server entry in the result list.

  3. Select the Change main data task.
