Enterprise Service Management M42ESM-287 Provisioning Workflow - Assign AAD Group New

Similar to the already existing Workflow to assign an AD account to an AD group, AAD group membership will be managed using the service catalog provisioning.


Assign account to AAD Group

  • Maria is asking permission to a resource controlled by an AAD Group.

  • Maria selects the service XY and places the order

  • After approval, service provisioning starts

  • Marias AAD account is assigned to the service-defined AAD group

Remove account to AAD Group

  • Maria was asking permission to a resource controlled by an AAD Group.

  • Maria no longer requires this permission and returns the service XY by placing a return-order

  • After approval, service provisioning starts

  • Marias AAD account is removed from the service-defined AAD group



Enterprise Service Management M42ESM-288 Service based target filters New

Currently, global service catalog filters do only allow settings that get applied to all services and targets (account, computer); thus more detailed filters are not possible.

As a result accounts from AAD are available on AD-only services which lead to issues during automated provisioning.

Filter settings are applied directly at the service once the target selection is defined. To allow complex filters the setting will be done using A-SQL.

Enterprise Service Management M42ESM-366 01 - Extension Analytics for authors New
