Changing the certification status of employees

NOTE: This function is only available if the Attestation Module is installed.

Employee's certification status is set by default through certification and recertification procedures. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Attestation Administration Guide.

You can manually change an employee's certification status if it is necessary to do so outside the regular recertification schedule.

Prerequisite

  • The QER | Attestation | UserApproval configuration parameter is set.

To change an employee's certification status manually

  1. To change the certification status of an active employee, in the Manager, select the Employees > Employees. category.

    - OR -

    To change the certification status of a permanently deactivated employee, in the Manager, select the Employees > Inactive employees category.

  2. Select the employee in the result list.

  3. Select the Change certification status task.

  4. Select the certification status you want from the Certification status menu.

  5. Click OK to accept the changes.

    The new certification status for the employee is displayed on the form.

    NOTE: The Permanently deactivated option is updated depending on the certification status. If an employee's certification status is set to Denied manually or as a result of attestation, the employee is immediately deactivated permanently. If the employee's certification status is changed to Certified, the employee is activated again.

Assigning company resources to employees

One Identity Manager uses different assignment types to assign company resources.

  • Indirect assignment

    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.

  • Direct assignment

    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.

  • Assignment by dynamic roles

    Assignment through dynamic roles is a special case of indirect assignment. Dynamic roles are used to specify role memberships dynamically. Employees, devices, and workdesks are not permanently assigned to a role, just when they fulfill certain conditions. A check is performed regularly to assess which employees, devices, or workdesks fulfill these conditions. This means the role memberships change dynamically. For example, company resources can be assigned dynamically to all employees in a department in this way; if an employee leaves the department they immediately lose the resources assigned to them.

  • Assigning through IT Shop requests

    Assignment through the IT Shop is a special case of indirect assignment. Add employees to a shop as customers so that company resources can be assigned through IT Shop requests. All company resources assigned as product to this shop can be requested by the customers. Requested company resources are assigned to the employees after approval is granted. Role memberships can be requested through the IT Shop as well as company resources.

The following table shows the possible company resources assignments to employees.

NOTE: Company resources are defined in the One Identity Manager modules and are not available until the modules are installed.
