Email notification about login data
You can configure the login information for new user accounts to be sent by email to a specified person. In this case, two messages are sent with the user name and the initial password. Mail templates are used to generate the messages. The mail text is defined in several languages in a mail template. which means the recipient ’s language can be taken into account when the email is generated. Mail templates are supplied in the default installation with which you can configure the notification procedure.
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites must be fulfilled in order to use notifications
1. Ensure that the email notification system is configured in One Identity Manager. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.
2. In Designer, enable the Common | MailNotification | DefaultSender configuration parameter and enter the sender address for sending the email notifications.
3. Ensure that all identities have a default email address. Notifications are sent to this address. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.
4. Ensure that a language can be determined for all identities. Only then can they receive email notifications in their own language. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.
When a randomly generated password is issued for the new user account, the initial login data for a user account is sent by email to a previously specified person.
To send initial login data by email

templates for these mails.
Target system managers
A default application role exists for the target system manager in One Identity Manager.
Assign the identities who are authorized to edit all tenants in One Identity Manager to this application role.
Define additional application roles if you want to limit the edit permissions for target system managers to individual tenants. The application roles must be added under the default application role.
For more information about implementing and editing application roles, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.
Implementing application roles for target system managers
1. The One Identity Manager administrator assigns identities to be target system managers.
2. These target system managers add identities to the default application role for target system managers.
Target system managers with the default application role are authorized to edit all tenants in One Identity Manager.
3. Target system managers can authorize other identities within their area of responsibility as target system managers and if necessary, create additional child application roles and assign these to individual connections.
