1.6 Use Cases Supported by the Connector
The Zoom is used to integrate Oracle Identity Governance with Zoom to ensure that all Zoom accounts are created, updated, and deactivated on an integrated cycle with the rest of the identity-aware applications in your enterprise. The Zoom supports management of identities for Cloud Identity, Synchronized Identity, and Federated Identity models of Zoom. In a typical IT scenario, an organization using Oracle Identity Governance wants to manage accounts, groups, roles across Zoom Cloud Service. The following are some of the most common scenarios in which this connector can be used:
- Zoom User Management:
An organization using Zoom wants to integrate with Oracle Identity Governance to manage identities. The organization wants to manage its user identities by creating them in the target system using Oracle Identity Governance. The organization also wants to synchronize user identity changes performed directly in the target system with Oracle Identity Governance. In such a scenario, a quick and an easy way is to install the Zoom and configure it with your target system by providing connection information.
To create a new user in the target system, fill in and submit the OIM process form to trigger the provisioning operation. The connector executes the CreateOp operation against your target system and the user is created on successful execution of the operation. Similarly, operations like delete and update can be performed.
To search or retrieve the user identities, you must run a scheduled task from Oracle Identity Governance. The connector will run the corresponding SearchOp against the user identities in the target system and fetch all the changes to Oracle Identity Governance
- Zoom Group Management:
An organization has a number of Zoom Groups allowing its users to set up new groups, manage memberships, and delete groups. The organization now wants to know the list of groups that have not been recently accessed or who have inactive members. In such a scenario, you can use the Zoom to highlight the usage trend for groups. By using the Zoom, you can leverage the reporting capabilities of Oracle Identity Governance to track any operations (such as create, update, delete) performed on groups.
- Zoom Admin Role Management:
In large organizations, it may be necessary for an administrator to designate other employees to act as administrators to serve different functions. For example, you can set admin roles for your IT staff that can act as support agents to other employees, partners, customers and vendors. With the Zoom, you can assign or revoke an Zoom admin role to users as an entitlement, thus facilitating you to leverage the delegated administration capability of Zoom.
