Configure Role-Based Provisioning

This page guides you through provisioning users based on the roles they are assigned to. With role-based provisioning, the user is provisioned when the user is added to a pre-configured role, and the user is deleted from the trusted identity provider when the user is removed from the role.

Follow the steps given below to configure role-based provisioning in MWARE IAM.

Register an identity provider

  1. Log in to the Management Console(https://<IS_HOST>:<PORT>/carbon) using admin/admin credentials.

  2. Navigate to Main > Identity > Identity Providers > Add.

  3. Enter an Identity Provider Name, Display Name, and Description.

  4. Expand the Outbound Provisioning Connectors section and select Google, SCIM or Salesforce connecter.

  5. Expand the Role Configuration section and enter a role name (or set of roles as a comma-separated list) for the Identity Provider OutBound Provisioning Roles field as seen below.
    For this flow, a role named "provision" was created and has been entered here.

    Info

    If you do not have roles already, see the Add a User Role topic to add roles.

Configure outbound provisioning

  1. Navigate to Main > Identity > Service Providers > Resident.

  2. Expand the Outbound Provisioning Configuration section and enter the name of the identity provider you just created, and select the connector from the dropdown list.

    Info

    If you enable Blocking, MWARE IAM will wait for the response from the Identity Provider to continue.

    Note

    At this point, the user is not yet provisioned to the identity provider.

  5. On the Main tab in the management console, click List under Users and Roles in the Identity menu.

  6. Click Users and then click the Assign Roles action of the newly created user. Select the "provision" role (or any role added in the Role Configuration section of the identity provider) and click Finish.

    Note

    The user is now provisioned to the identity provider.

Remove users

  1. On the Main tab in the management console, click List under Users and Roles in the Identity menu.
  2. Click Users and then click on the Assign Roles action of the newly created user. De-select the "provision" role (or any role added in the Role Configuration section of the identity provider) and click Finish.

The user will now be removed from the identity provider.
