Certifying departments, cost centers, and locations

NOTE: This function is only available if the Attestation Module is installed.

The certification status of departments, cost centers, and locations can be set manually or by regular attestation. To set certification status by attesting, configure the attestation policies accordingly.

To manually change the certification status of a department, cost center, or location

  1. In the Manager, edit the main data of the department, cost center, and location.

  2. In the Certification status field, enter the required value.

  3. Save the changes.

To change the certification status of departments, cost centers, or locations by attestation

  1. In the Manager, select the Attestation > Attestation policies category.

  2. In the result list, select the attestation policy whose attestation runs will adjust the certification status.

  3. If the certification status is to change to Certified when attestation is approved, enable the Set certification status to "Certified".

  4. If the certification status is to be changed to Denied when attestation is denied, enable Set certification status to "Denied".

  5. Save the changes.

One Identity Manager provides default procedures for managers to quickly attest and certify the main data of newly added departments, cost centers, and locations in the One Identity Manager database. Attestation is performed only for organizations with the New certification status. If the attestation is approved, the certificate status of the attested organization is set to Certified and otherwise, to Denied. If attestation was granted approval, it disables the Identities do not inherit option.

NOTE: If the attestation was denied, only the certification status changes. Other behavioral changes, for example in the inheritance calculation, are not associated with this and can be implemented on a custom basis.

This function is only available if the Target System Base Module is installed. For more information about certifying new roles and organizations, see the One Identity Manager Attestation Administration Guide.

Identity administration

The main component of One Identity Manager maps identities with their main data and all available company resources. Identities usually represent real people but they can also be used for machines and services in One Identity Manager. IT resources, such as devices, software, and access permissions in various target systems, qualify as company resources. Resources such as mobile phones, company cars, or keys can be mapped to identities, as well.

Identities obtain company resources according to their function and their position with the company structure. In One Identity Manager, departments, cost centers, and locations or even business roles as well memberships of the identities are mapped in these company structures. Once company resources are assigned to the company structures, they are inherited by all the members of the company structures. This way, identities automatically be supplied with all the necessary company resources.

If you manage access permissions on all One Identity Manager tools using the application role, you obtain all of the information about current access permissions and identity responsibilities with One Identity Manager. For more information about application roles, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.

One Identity Manager components for managing identities are available when the QER | Person configuration parameter is set.

  • In the Designer, check if the configuration parameter is set. If not, set the configuration parameter.
