You can define rules for maintaining and monitoring regulatory requirements in a rule base. A rule in One Identity Manager not only contains a technical description but also properties such as rule violation level, owner, manager, or audit information. The rules can be also classified into categories ("compliance framework") and rule groups.
Once you have added a rule, an associated object for rule violations is added in the database. Everyone who violates the rule is added to this object.
A working copy is added to the database for every rule. Edit the working copies to create rule and change them. Changes to the rule do not take effect until the working copy is enabled.
To create a new rule
Click 
This adds a working copy.

You can use One Identity Manager to evaluate the risk of rule violations. To do this, enter a risk index for the rule. The risk index specifies the risk involved for the company if the rule is violated. The risk index is given as a number in the range 0 to 1. By doing this, you specify whether a rule violation is not considered a risk for the company (risk index = 0) or whether every rule violation poses a problem (risk index = 1).
When a rule condition is created, system entitlement risk indexes can already be included as an object property. By using rules of this type you can prevent system entitlements that exceed a specified risk index from being requested in the IT Shop.
You can create several reports with the Report Editor to evaluate objects, assignments, and rule violations depending on the risk index.
To evaluate the risk of a rule violation in the context of identity audit, you can enter values for grading rules on the Assessment criteria tab.
