Editing master data for Epic SER provider account

Automatic assignments of identities to Epic SER provider accounts

When you add an Epic SER provider account, an existing identity can be assigned automatically or added if necessary. In the process, the identity master data is created based for existing user master data. This mechanism can follow after a new Epic SER provider account has been created manually or through synchronization. Define criteria for finding identities to apply to automatic identity assignment. If an Epic SER provider account is linked to an identity through the current mode, the Epic SER provider account is given, through an internal process, the default manage level of the account definition entered in the Epic SER provider account's target system. You can customize Epic SER provider account properties depending on how the behavior of the manage level is defined.

If automatic identity assignment to Epic SER provider accounts is enabled, automatic assignment of identities to Epic SER provider accounts takes place from that moment onwards. If you disable the automatic identity assignment to Epic SER provider accounts later, the changes only affect Epic SER provider accounts added or updated after this point in time. Existing identity assignment to Epic SER provider accounts remain intact.

To assign identities automatically, follow below steps:

  1. If you want identities to be assigned during the synchronization of Epic SER provider accounts, in the Designer, enable the configuration parameter TargetSystem | Epic | SER | PersonAutoFullsync and select the required mode.

  2. If you want identities to be assigned outside synchronization, in the Designer activate the TargetSystem | Epic | SER | PersonAutoDefault configuration parameter and select the required mode.

  3. Use the TargetSystem | Epic | SER | PersonAutoDisabledAccounts configuration parameter to specify whether identities can be automatically assigned to disabled Epic SER provider accounts. Epic SER provider accounts do not obtain an account definition.

  4. Assign an account definition to the client. Ensure that the manage level to be used is entered as the default manage level.

  5. Define the search criteria for assigning identities to the client.

NOTE:

  • The following applies for synchronization

    • Automatic identity assignment takes effect if Epic SER provider accounts are added or updated.

  • The following applies outside synchronization

    • Automatic identity assignment takes effect if Epic SER provider accounts are added.

  • Following a synchronization, identities are automatically created for the Epic SER provider accounts in the default installation. If an account definition for the client is not yet known at the time of synchronization, Epic SER provider accounts are linked with identities. However, account definitions are not assigned. The Epic SER provider accounts are therefore in a Linked state.

To manage the Epic SER provider accounts using account definitions, assign an account definition and a manage level to these Epic SER provider accounts.

To select Epic SER provider accounts through account definitions

  1. Create an account definition.

  2. Assign an account definition to the client.

  3. Assign the account definition and manage level to Epic SER provider accounts in linked status.

    1. a. In One Identity Manager, select Epic health care | SER providers| Linked but not configured | <Client>.
    2. Select Assign account definition to linked accounts.

For detailed information about assigning identities automatically, see One Identity Manager Target System Base Module Administration Guide.
