Azure Active Directory administrator roles
By using Azure Active Directory administrator roles, you can assign administrative permissions to users. Azure Active Directory recognizes several administrator roles that fulfill different functions. For more information about administrator roles, see the Azure Active Directory documentation from Microsoft.
One Identity Manager administrator roles are loaded into Azure Active Directory by synchronization. You can edit individual main data of Azure Active Directory administrator roles but you cannot create new Azure Active Directory administrator roles in One Identity Manager.
To add users to Azure Active Directory administrator roles, assign the Azure Active Directory administrator roles directly to the user. This may be Azure Active Directory administrator role assignments to departments, cost centers, locations, business roles, or the IT Shop.
