Exclude indirect assignment from system role in exceptional use cases

Hello,

OIM version: 8.1.4

I am facing a problem and I would appreciate advice from the community.

Context
=======
I have defined a system role that contains a number of AD Groups. As part of a joiner flow new employees receive this system role based on a dynamic business role, and thus the AD Group memberships are an indirect assignment.

Problem
=======
In some exceptional cases one of the AD Groups (unfortunately not always the same AD group) that is part of the automatically assigned system roles need to be revoked for a specific employee (e.g. internet access, external mail access, ...). Since this assignment is indirect I cannot remove it, or I have to remove the system role assignment which would also remove the remaining AD Groups.

Question
========
What would be the correct way to solve this problem?

Thank you in advance for your recommendations.

Regards,

Wilke

  • You should be able to use Group/ESet exclustions for this (ADSGroupExclude or ESetExcludesESet).

    For all Groups that might get excluded create an extra pair of ESets, a "GroupEset" and a "RemoveESet". Configure the RemoveESet to exclude the GroupEset, assign the groupEset to your Main SystemRole (or Business Role) instead of the group directly.
    For the identity that should be excluded, also assign the "RemoveESet". That should suppress the assignment of the ADGroup.

    You can do the exclusion on the AD-Group level instead of ESet. But then you need that extra removeGroup in AD itself. But it might be feasible if there is some ADGroup for it already.

    PS: I would like some condition on the BaseTree/ESet assignment tables for conditional inheritance. That would solve many similar usecases. But still waiting....
