Identity Manager 9.1 - Administration Guide for Connecting to a Universal Cloud Interface

One Identity Manager has account definitions for automatically allocating user accounts to employees. You can create account definitions for every target system. If an employee does not yet have a user account in a target system, a new user account is created. This is done by assigning account definitions to an employee.

The data for the user accounts in the respective target system comes from the basic employee data. The employees must have a central user account. The assignment of the IT operating data to the employee’s user account is controlled through the primary assignment of the employee to a location, a department, a cost center, or a business role. Processing is done through templates. There are predefined templates for determining the data required for user accounts included in the default installation. You can customize templates as required.

Specify the manage level for an account definition for managing user accounts. The user account’s manage level specifies the extent of the employee’s properties that are inherited by the user account. This allows an employee to have several user accounts in one target system, for example:

Default user account that inherits all properties from the employee.
Administrative user account that is associated to an employee but should not inherit the properties from the employee.

For more detailed information about the principles of account definitions, manage levels, and determining the valid IT operating data, see the One Identity Manager Target System Base Module Administration Guide.

The following steps are required to implement an account definition:

Creating account definitions
Configuring manage levels
Creating the formatting rules for IT operating data
Collecting IT operating data
Assigning account definitions to employees and target systems

Table 11: Main data for an account definition
Property	Description
Account definition	Account definition name.
User account table	Table in the One Identity Manager schema that maps user accounts.
Target system	Target system to which the account definition applies.
Required account definition	Specifies the required account definition. Define the dependencies between account definitions. When this account definition is requested or assigned, the required account definition is assigned automatically. Leave empty for cloud target systems.
Description	Text field for additional explanation.
Manage level (initial)	Manage level to use by default when you add new user accounts.
Risk index	Value for evaluating the risk of assigning the account definition to employees. Set a value in the range 0 to 1. This input field is only visible if the QER \| CalculateRiskIndex configuration parameter is set. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Risk Assessment Administration Guide.
Service item	Service item through which you can request the account definition resource in the IT Shop. Assign an existing service item or add a new one.
IT Shop	Specifies whether the account definition can be requested through the IT Shop. The account definition can be requested by an employee through the Web Portal and distributed using a defined approval process. The resource can also be assigned directly to employees and roles outside the IT Shop.
Only for use in IT Shop	Specifies whether the account definition can only be requested through the IT Shop. The account definition can be requested by an employee through the Web Portal and distributed using a defined approval process. The account definition cannot be directly assigned to roles outside the IT Shop.
Automatic assignment to employees	Specifies whether the account definition is automatically assigned to all internal employees. To automatically assign the account definition to all internal employee, use the Enable automatic assignment to employees The account definition is assigned to every employee that is not marked as external. Once a new internal employee is created, they automatically obtain this account definition. To automatically remove the account definition assignment from all employees, use the Disable automatic assignment to employees. The account definition cannot be reassigned to employees from this point on. Existing account definition assignments remain intact.
Retain account definition if permanently disabled	Specifies the account definition assignment to permanently deactivated employees. Option set: The account definition assignment remains in effect. The user account remains intact. Option not set (default): The account definition assignment is not in effect.

Groups can be inherited	Specifies whether the user account can inherit groups through the linked employee. If the option is set, the user account inherits groups through hierarchical roles, in which the employee is a member, or through IT Shop requests. If you add an employee with a user account to a department, for example, and you have assigned groups to this department, the user account inherits these groups. If an employee has requested group membership in the IT Shop and the request is granted approval, the employee's user account only inherits the group if the option is set.
System entitlements 1 can be inherited System entitlements 2 can be inherited System entitlements 3 can be inherited	Specifies whether the user account may inherit system entitlements of the corresponding type through the linked employee. If the option is set, the user account inherits groups through hierarchical roles, in which the employee is a member, or through IT Shop requests. For example, if you add an employee with a user account to a department and you have assigned system entitlements to that department, the user account inherits those system entitlements. If an employee has requested an assignment to a system entitlement in the IT Shop and this request is approved and assigned, then the employee's user account inherits this system entitlement only if the option is enabled.
