Setting up network resources

This section shows you how to set up network resources for management via Bravura Identity.

All shared resources to which users are going to request access must be correctly configured in SharePoint. Bravura Group’s ability to successfully control access to the resources depends heavily on how the resources are configured in SharePoint.

Some thought must be given to planning how many groups need to be created and what resources they will have permission to access, so that adding/removing a user’s membership in a group provides them with the exact access to network resources that they need.

In general, you must do the following:

  • Ensure that each SharePoint group has an owner (recommended).

    Bravura Identity can use group owners as authorizers for requests to join the group.

  • Ensure that all resources to be managed have the correct groups assigned to them.

  • Ensure users have a SharePoint account. The easiest way to do this is to add an Active Directory group to the SharePoint Visitors group. All users in the Active Directory group will have visitor access and can then request access to SharePoint network resources.

The following SharePoint operations are supported by nrshrpt, shipped with Connector Pack in the agent directory:
