EmpowerID's IAM Shop Permission Levels provide a way to manage and control access to resources such as applications, shared folders, and computers within your organization. These permission levels represent native permissions that users can select when requesting access to resources through the IAM Shop.

Examples of such Permission Levels for computers could include "Local Admin", "Power User", or "Backup Operator.” When a user requests access to a computer and selects an IAM Shop Permission Level, EmpowerID adds the user to the corresponding group on the computer with those permissions. For this process to work, administrators must assign the desired IAM Shop Permission Levels to a computer and map those permission levels to the appropriate groups granting those permissions on the computer itself. It is important to note that IAM Shop Permission Levels are merely labels and must be mapped correctly to grant any permissions.

In this article, we will walk you through the process of assigning and mapping IAM Shop Permission Levels to computers in EmpowerID.

How to assign IAM Shop Permission Levels to Computers

1. Navigate to the View One page for the computer to which you want to assign IAM Shop Permission Levels.

   The quickest way to do this is to use the Global Search located at the top of each page.

2. On the View One page for the computer, click the RBAC subtab and expand IAM Shop Assignees for Requesting Access.

3. Click the Add New button.

   Now that you have selected the permission level, the next step is to select the assignee granting the permission level (map the permission level). In our example, we are going to select an EmpowerID group that is mapped to a group on the native system. You can select any type of RBAC actor as the assignee type as long as that actor has a role that grants the access represented by the access level.

5. Under Assignee Granting the Permission Level, do the following:

   1. Select the assignee type from the Which Type of Assignee For This Policy dropdown.

   2. Select the appropriate assignee from the Select <Assignee> To Receive Policy dropdown.
      

      

6. Click Save.
   

   

    

7. Repeat to add other assignees as needed.

8. Click Submit to complete the process.
