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 in a mail template is defined in several languages. This 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.
The following prerequisites must be fulfilled in order to use notifications:
-
Ensure that the email notification system is configured in One Identity Manager. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.
- In the Designer, set the Common | MailNotification | DefaultSender configuration parameter and enter the sender address for sending the email notifications.
- Ensure that all employees 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.
- Ensure that a language can be determined for all employees. 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.

Use the One Identity Manager to manage cloud application user accounts and entitlements. Each cloud application is mapped as its own base object in One Identity Manager. The user data is saved as user accounts, groups, and permissions controls and can be organized into containers. User accounts obtain the permissions required to access cloud resources through membership in groups and permissions controls.
