One Identity Manager can be used to define rules that maintain and monitor regulatory requirements and automatically deal with rule violations. Define compliance rules to test entitlements or combinations of entitlements in the context of identity audit for employees in the company. On the one hand, existing rule violations can be found by checking rules. On the other hand, possible rule violations can be preemptively identified and this prevented.
Figure 1: Identity audit in One Identity Manager
Simple rule examples are:
-
An employee may not obtain two entitlements A and B at the same time.
-
Only employees with a particular department can have a particular entitlement.
-
Every user account has to have a manager assigned to it.
You can use the identity audit function of One Identity Manager to:
-
Define rules for any employee assignments
-
Evaluate the risk of possible rule violations
-
Specify mitigating controls
-
Initiate regular or spontaneous rule checks
-
Detailed testing of edit permissions for employees within an SAP client (using SAP functions)
-
Evaluate rule violations with differing criteria
-
Create reports about rules and rule violations
Based on this information, you can made corrections to data in One Identity Manager and transfer them to the connected target systems. The integrated report function in One Identity Manager can be used to provide information for the appropriate tests.
To use the identity audit function
If you disable the configuration parameter at a later date, model components and scripts that are not longer required, are disabled. SQL procedures and triggers are still carried out. For more information about the behavior of preprocessor relevant configuration parameters and conditional compiling, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.
