About the View One Group Page

Each resource object that EmpowerID protects has a View One page associated with it. For groups, this page is the “View One Person Page.” This page contains tabs and accordions that provide information about a specific group and gives administrators and other delegated users the ability to manage that group in EmpowerID. The below image shows what a typical View One Group Page looks like to a user with admin access to the group.

 

Tabs and Accordions on the View One Group Page

The View One Group Page contains a number of tabs and accordions that provide information about the specific group being viewed, and access to workflows for managing that group.

The General tab allows users to view general information about a group and manage aspects of that group as needed. The tab contains a number of components to include informational cards about the group, as well as various accordions that provide authorized users access to workflows for managing the group.

 

Components of the General tab include the following:

The value set here can differ from the name of the group in the account store (displayed as the Name attribute on the General card discussed above). The value for the attribute is stored in the EmpowerID database only and has no effect on any attribute of the group in the account store (external system).

  • EmpowerID Friendly Name – Allows you to set the friendly name of the group to be displayed to users in the IT Shop. The value for the attribute is stored in the EmpowerID database only and has no effect on any attribute of the group in the account store (external system).

Access Request policies are used to control access to resources in EmpowerID and can be used to designate different Approval Flow policies for resources based on their Access Request policy. For more information, please see Approval Engine.

  • Application Role Owners – Allows you to specify one or more people as group owners. Each person added here is granted the ACT-Group-Object-Administration access level for the group. The access level can be used to configure approval routing whenever users request access to the group. When this is the case, group owners can approve or reject access requests.

  • Application Role Approvers – Allows you to specify one or more people who can approve or reject requests for access to the group. Each person added here is granted the Access Manager access level for the group.

  • Differentiation Locations – Allows you to set the differentiation location for the group. Differentiation locations are EmpowerID locations that provide containers for the placement of groups based on their location within an organization.

  • Process Locations – Allows you to set process location for the group. Process locations are EmpowerID locations that provide logical containers for the placement of groups in a manner that matches their function in an organization.
