During an Identity Manager implementation, typically Employees are created under organization section defining where the department, cost center or location structure is defined. One population for your deployment are non-employees like vendors, contractors, students,etc. which are supported by the OneIM solution.
One Identity Manager provides a table structure that will allow implementer to use as container for non-employees companies.
- Open Manager tool and click Employees navigation tab. Scroll down and you will see the Business partners option under the Basic Configuration Data.
On this section you can add companies and define if they are Partner or suppliers.

2. You can populate the Address if required for those companies added within OneIM.

3. As you keep adding more companies, they will be displayed hierarchical by alphabet order.

3. Now, when you create a new non-employee (sometimes called Identity) within OneIM, now you can choose the company they belong from the Company field.

You can populate other data, but make sure you select Employee Type, for this screenshot we selected Contractor.

4. Once the non-employee is added. You can go back to the Business partner section and click Company Overview. This will show you all non-employees assigned to the company selected.


Business Partners data is just the display of the table. The table that store all companies is called FirmPartner. Open Object browser tool and query the table to display all data stored.
