Setting up a rule base

You can define rules for maintaining and monitoring regulatory requirements in a rule base. A rule in One Identity Manager not only contains a technical description but also properties such as rule violation level, owner, manager, or audit information. The rules can be also classified into categories (Compliance frameworks) and rule groups.

Once you have added a rule, an associated object for rule violations is added in the database. Everyone who violates the rule is added to this object.

Creating and editing compliance rules

A working copy is added to the database for every rule. Edit the working copies to create rule and change them. Changes to the rule do not take effect until the working copy is enabled.

NOTE: One Identity Manager users with the Identity & Access Governance | Identity Audit | Rule supervisors application role can edit existing rules if they are entered as a rule supervisor in the general data.

To create a new rule

  1. In the Manager, select the Identity Audit > Rules category.

  2. Click in the result list.

  3. Enter the main data of the rule.
