Target system managers

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

  • Prepare groups to add to the IT Shop.

  • Can add employees who have another identity than the Primary identity.

  • Configure synchronization in the Synchronization Editor and define the mapping for comparing target systems and One Identity Manager.

  • Edit the synchronization's target system types and outstanding objects.

  • Authorize other employees within their area of responsibility as target system managers and create child application roles if required.

Configuration parameters for managing SharePoint Online

The following configuration parameters are additionally available in One Identity Manager after the module has been installed.

Table 36: Configuration parameters

Configuration parameter

Meaning

TargetSystem | SharePointOnline

Preprocessor relevant configuration parameter for controlling the database model components for the administration of the SharePoint Online target system. If the parameter is set, the target system components are available. Changes to this parameter require the database to be recompiled.

If you disable the configuration parameter at a later date, model components and scripts that are not longer required, are disabled. SQL procedures and triggers are still carried out. For more information about the behavior of preprocessor relevant configuration parameters and conditional compiling, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

TargetSystem | SharePointOnline | Accounts

Default project template for SharePoint Online

A default project template ensures that all required information is added in One Identity Manager. This includes mappings, workflows, and the synchronization base object. If you do not use a default project template you must declare the synchronization base object in One Identity Manager yourself.

Use a default project template for initially setting up the synchronization project. For custom implementations, you can extend the synchronization project with the Synchronization Editor.

NOTE: There is only one synchronization template in the One Identity Manager for the target system  SharePoint Online.

To synchronize SharePoint Online user accounts and permissions, you use the SharePoint Online synchronization project template. The project template uses mappings for the following schema types.
