Adding Azure Active Directory subscriptions automatically to the IT Shop

The following steps can be used to automatically add Azure Active Directory subscriptions to the IT Shop. Synchronization ensures that the Azure Active Directory subscriptions are added to the IT Shop. If necessary, you can manually start synchronization with the Synchronization Editor. New Azure Active Directory subscriptions created in One Identity Manager also are added automatically to the IT Shop.

To add Azure Active Directory subscriptions automatically to the IT Shop

  1. In the Designer, set the QER | ITShop | AutoPublish | AADSubSku configuration parameter.

  2. In order not to add Azure Active Directory subscriptions to the IT Shop automatically, in the Designer, set the QER | ITShop | AutoPublish | AADSubSku | ExcludeList configuration parameter.

    This configuration parameter contains a listing of all Azure Active Directory subscriptions that should not be allocated to the IT Shop automatically. You can extend this list if required. To do this, enter the name of the subscription in the configuration parameter. Names are listed in a pipe (|) delimited list. Regular expressions are supported.

  3. Compile the database.

The Azure Active Directory subscriptions are added automatically to the IT Shop from now on.

The following steps are run to add an Azure Active Directory subscription to the IT Shop.

  1. A service item is determined for the Azure Active Directory subscription.

    The service item is tested for each Azure Active Directory subscription and modified if necessary. The name of the service item corresponds to the name of the Azure Active Directory subscription.

    • The service item is modified for Azure Active Directory subscriptions with service items.

    • Azure Active Directory subscriptions without service items are allocated new service items.

  2. The service item is assigned to the Azure Active Directory subscriptions default service category.

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

    Product owners can approve requests for these Azure Active Directory subscriptions. The default product owner is the Azure Active Directory subscription's owner.

    NOTE: The application role for the product owner must be added under the Request & Fulfillment | IT Shop | Product owner application role.

    • If the owner of the Azure Active Directory subscription 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 Azure Active Directory subscription.

    • If the owner of the Azure Active Directory subscription is not yet a member of an application role for product owners, a new application role is created. The name of the application corresponds to the name of the owner.

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

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

  4. The Azure Active Directory subscription is labeled with the IT Shop option and assigned to the Azure Active Directory subscriptions IT Shop shelf in the Identity & Access Lifecycle shop.

Then the shop customers use the Web Portal to request the Azure Active Directory subscription.

NOTE: If an Azure Active Directory subscription is irrevocably deleted from the One Identity Manager database, the associated service item is also deleted.

For more information about configuring the One Identity Manager IT Shop Administration Guide, see the IT Shop. For more information about requesting access requests in the Web Portal, see the One Identity Manager Web Portal User Guide.

If the column is empty, this assignment of the Azure Active Directory subscription to the Azure Active Directory user account is created either directly, though IT Shop requests, or through departments, cost centers, locations, and business roles.

  • Origin: Type of assignment. Assignments through Azure Active Directory groups are marked with the Assigned by group value (AADUserHasSubSku.XOrigin=16).

NOTE: You cannot delete assignments that are not derived from an Azure Active Directory group.

Assigning disabled Azure Active Directory service plans to Azure Active Directory user accounts

Disabled Azure Active Directory service plans can be assigned directly or indirectly to Azure Active Directory user accounts.

In the case of indirect assignment, identities and disabled service plans are assigned to hierarchical roles, such as departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles. The disabled Azure Active Directory service plans assigned to an identity are calculated from the position in the hierarchy and the direction of inheritance. If the identity has a user account in Azure Active Directory, disabled service plans belonging to roles are inherited by this user account.

Furthermore, disabled service plans can be assigned to identities through IT Shop requests. Add identities to a shop as customers so that disabled service plans can be assigned through IT Shop requests. All disabled service plans are assigned to this shop can be requested by the customers. Requested disabled service plans are assigned to the identities after approval is granted.

To react quickly to special requests, you can assign disabled service plans directly to Azure Active Directory user accounts.

NOTE: It is possible that an Azure Active Directory user obtains the same Azure Active Directory subscription directly as well as through one or more Azure Active Directory groups. If a service plan is permitted by one assignment method and not by another, the user is given the service plan.

This means:

A disabled service plan that is assigned to a user account can be permitted if the user accounts obtains the service plan additional through a group and the service plan for the group is allowed.
