Application role attestation

If you attest memberships in application roles, you can use the QER | Attestation | AutoRemovalScope | AERoleMembership configuration parameter to configure automatic removal of application roles. After attestation approval has been denied, One Identity Manager checks which type of assignment was used for the user account to become a member in the application role.

Table 48: Effect of configuration parameters when attestation denied

Configuration parameter

Effect when set

QER | Attestation | AutoRemovalScope | AERoleMembership | RemoveDirectRole

The employee's secondary membership is removed from the application role.

This removes all indirect assignments obtained by the employee through this application role. Membership in dynamic roles is not removed in this process.

QER | Attestation | AutoRemovalScope | AERoleMembership | RemoveRequestedRole

If the employee requested the application role through the IT Shop, the request is canceled or unsubscribed.

This removes all indirect assignments obtained by the employee through this application role.

Set the desired behavior in the QER | Attestation | AutoRemovalScope | PWOMethodName configuration parameter. For more information, see Default attestation and withdrawal of entitlements.

QER | Attestation | AutoRemovalScope | AERoleMembership | RemoveDelegatedRole

If the application role was delegated to the employee, delegation is canceled or unsubscribed.

This removes all indirect assignments obtained by the employee through this application role.

QER | Attestation | AutoRemovalScope | AERoleMembership | RemoveDynamicRole

The employee is excluded from the application role's dynamic role.

This removes all indirect assignments obtained by the employee through this application role. This does not remove memberships in the application role that were created in another way.

Business role attestation

Installed modules: Business Roles Module

If you attest memberships in business roles, you can use the QER | Attestation | AutoRemovalScope | RoleMembership configuration parameter to configure automatic removal of business roles.

User attestation and recertification

Use the One Identity Manager attestation functionality to regularly check and authorize employees' main data and target system entitlements and assignments. In addition, One Identity Manager provides default procedures for managers to quickly attest and certify the main data of newly added One Identity Manager users in the One Identity Manager database. This functionality can be used, for example, if external employees, such as contract workers, are provided with temporary access to the One Identity Manager. The sequence is different for internal and external employees.

Regular recertification can be run through scheduled tasks.

In the context of an attestation, a manager can check and update the main data of the user to be certified, if necessary. Use the Web Portal for attestation.
