Adding Active Directory groups to the IT Shop

When you assign a group to an IT Shop shelf, it can be requested by the shop customers. To ensure it can be requested, further prerequisites need to be guaranteed:

  • The group must be labeled with the IT Shop option.

  • The group must be assigned a service item.

    TIP: In the Web Portal, all products that can be requested are grouped together by service category. To make the group easier to find in the Web Portal, assign a service category to the service item.

  • If you only want the group to be assigned to identities through IT Shop requests, the group must also be labeled with the Use only in IT Shop option. Direct assignment to hierarchical roles or user accounts is no longer permitted.

NOTE: With role-based login, the IT Shop administrators can assign groups to IT Shop shelves. Target system administrators are not authorized to add groups to IT Shop.

Adding Active Directory groups automatically to the IT Shop

To add groups automatically to the IT Shop

  2. In the Designer, set the QER | ITShop | AutoPublish | ADSGroup | ExcludeList configuration parameter and specify the Active Directory groups that are not to be added automatically to the IT Shop.

    Example:

    .*Administrator.*|Exchange.*|.*Admins|.*Operators|IIS_IUSRS

  3. (Optional) In the Designer, set the QER | ITShop | AutoPublish | ADSGroup | AutoFillDisplayName configuration parameter.

    If the configuration parameter is set, a display name is be created for Active Directory groups if no display name exists yet. The display name of necessary to display the group in the Web Portal, for example.

  4. Compile the database.

The system entitlements are added automatically to the IT Shop from now on.

The following steps are run to add a group to the IT Shop.

  1. A service item is determined for the system entitlement.

    The service item is tested for each system entitlement and modified if required. The name of the service item corresponds to the name of the system entitlement.

    • The service item is modified if the system entitlement has a service item.

    • System entitlements without a service item are allocated a new service item.

  2. The service item is assigned to one of the default service categories.

  3. An application role for product owners is determined and the service item is assigned.

    Product owners can approve requests for membership in these system entitlements. By default, the account manager of a system entitlement is determined as the product owner.

    NOTE: The application role for the product owner must be added under the Request & Fulfillment | IT Shop | Product owner application role.
    • If the account manager of the system entitlement is already a member of an application role for product owners, this application role is assigned to the service item. Therefore, all members of this application role become product owners of the system entitlement.

    • If the account manager of the system entitlement is not yet a member of an application role for product owners, a new application role is created. The name of the application role corresponds to the name of the account manager.

      • If the account manager is a user account or a contact, the user account's identity or the contact's identity is added to the application role.

      • If it is a group of account managers, the identities of all this group's user accounts are added to the application role.

    • If the system entitlement does not have an account manager, the Request & Fulfillment | IT Shop | Product owner | Without owner in AD default application role is used.

  4. The system entitlement is labeled with the IT Shop option and assigned to the Active Directory groups IT Shop shelf in the Identity & Access Lifecycle shop.

Subsequently, the shop's customers can request memberships in system entitlement through the Web Portal.

NOTE: When a system entitlement is irrevocably deleted from the One Identity Manager database, the associated service item is also deleted.
