Managing memberships in Unix groups

Unix user accounts can be grouped into Unix groups that can be used to regulate access to resources.

In One Identity Manager, you can assign Unix groups directly to user accounts or they can be inherited through departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles. Users can also request the groups through the Web Portal. To do this, groups are provided in the IT Shop.

Assigning Unix groups to Unix user accounts

Unix groups can be assigned directly or indirectly to Unix user accounts.

In the case of indirect assignment, employees and Unix groups are assigned to hierarchical roles, such as departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles. The Unix groups assigned to an employee are calculated from the position in the hierarchy and the direction of inheritance. If you add an employee to roles and that employee owns a Unix user account, the Unix user account is added to the Unix group.

Furthermore, Unix groups can be requested through the Web Portal. To do this, add employees to a shop as customers. All Unix groups are assigned to this shop can be requested by the customers. Requested Unix groups are assigned to the employees after approval is granted.

Through system roles, Unix groups can be grouped together and assigned to employees and workdesks as a package. You can create system roles that contain only Unix groups. You can also group any number of company resources into a system role.

To react quickly to special requests, you can assign Unix groups directly to Unix user accounts.

Prerequisites for indirect assignment of Unix groups to Unix user accounts

In the case of indirect assignment, employees and Unix groups are assigned to hierarchical roles, such as departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles. When assigning Unix groups indirectly, check the following settings and modify them if necessary.

  1. Assignment of employees and Unix groups is permitted for role classes (departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles).

    For more information, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.

  2. Settings for assigning Unix groups to Unix user accounts.

    • The Unix user account is linked to an employee.

    • The Unix user account is labeled with the Groups can be inherited option.

NOTE: There are other configuration settings that play a role when company resources are inherited through departments, cost centers, locations, and business roles. For example, role inheritance might be blocked or inheritance of employees not allowed. For more detailed information about the basic principles for assigning company resources, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.
