Defining inheritance exclusion for business roles
You can define conflicting roles to prevent identities, devices, or workdesks from being assigned to several roles at the same time and from obtaining mutually exclusive company resources through these roles. At the same time, specify which business roles are mutually exclusive. This means you may not assign these roles to one and the same identity (device, workdesk).
NOTE: Only roles, which are defined directly as conflicting roles cannot be assigned to the same identity (device, workdesk). Definitions made on parent or child roles do not affect the assignment.

Creating assignment resources for application roles
You may add assignment resources to single business roles. This means you can limit assignment resources to a certain business role in the Web Portal. When the assignment resource is requested, it is no longer necessary to request the business role as well. It is automatically a part of the assignment request. For more information, see the One Identity Manager IT Shop Administration Guide.
