Assigning business roles to company resources

The default method of assigning identities, devices, and workdesks is indirect assignment. This allocates an identity, a device or a workdesk to business roles, cost centers, or locations. The total of assigned company resources for an identity, a device or workdesk is calculated from their position within the hierarchy, the direction of inheritance and the company resources assigned to these roles.

Indirect assignment is divided into:

  • Secondary assignment

    You make a secondary assignment by classifying an identity, a device, or a workdesk within a role hierarchy. Secondary assignment is the default method for assigning and inheriting company resources through roles.

    IMPORTANT: You use role classes to specify whether a secondary assignment of company resources is possible.

    If an identity, device or a workdesk fulfills the requirements of a dynamic role, the object is added dynamically to the corresponding company structure and can obtain company resources through it.

  • Primary assignment

    You make a primary assignment using a business role, cost center, or location foreign key reference in identity, device and workdesk objects. Primary assignment inheritance can be enable through configuration parameters.

You must assign company resources to business roles, cost centers, or locations so that identities, devices, and workdesks can inherit company resources. The following table shows the possible company resources assignments.

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