Managing Entitlements

Entitlements refer to the type of access privileges and permissions that are assigned to ZIdentity users and user groups. ZIdentity supports Administrative and Service entitlements.

Administrative

The Administrative entitlements are used to assign and manage ZIdentity users and user group's administrative access to a Zscaler service (e.g., ZIA Admin Portal, ZPA Admin Portal) with the specific role that is created in the respective Zscaler service.

To provide users or user groups administrative access and assign a role:

  1. Add roles on the respective Zscaler admin portal of that service (e.g., ZIA Admin Portal). ZIdentity also provides support for the Zero Trust Device Segmentation service. To add roles for:

    The roles on the respective admin portals are automatically synced into the ZIdentity database at regular intervals. To ensure that your ZIdentity database is up to date, you can perform a manual sync from the View Roles page.

  2. Add users and user groups in the ZIdentity Admin Portal.
  3. Go to Administration > Entitlements > Administrative.
  4. On the Administrative Entitlements page, select the service for which you want to assign users or user groups with admin roles.

  5. Assign users or user groups with admin roles to the service.

  6. (Optional) View the list of assigned users and user groups as service admins.

If a user is assigned to multiple user groups with different levels of access, then the group created first takes precedence, and the user can perform tasks according to the role assigned to that group. However, if a user is assigned to a service admin role individually, and they are also a part of a user group with a different admin role, then the role assigned to the individual user takes precedence over the user group role.

Service

The Service entitlements are used for assigning ZIdentity users and user groups to a Zscaler service (e.g., ZIA, ZPA).

To assign users or user groups to a Zscaler service:

  1. Add users and user groups in the ZIdentity Admin Portal.
  2. Go to Administration > Entitlements > Service.

  3. On the Service Entitlements page, select the service for which you want to assign users or user groups.
  4. Assign users or user groups to the service.

  5. (Optional) View the list of users and user groups assigned to the service.
