Liste der Rollen, die automatisch erteilt werden


Explanation:
... und zwar in diesem Fall direkt nach der Einstellung an der BU (Boston University).

This is what I found in a PDF file of Boston University, specifying which access privileges are granted AFTER a person has been hired:

"1. What is the meaning of birthright privileges?
A. Once an employee is hired to BU thru SAP (BUworks), they are entitled to the following birthright privileges.
- BUID
- BU Login and Kerberos Password
- Exchange mailbox
- Access to SAP ESS
- Wireless/VPN Access
- Skype for Business
- Representation in AD (Active Directory)"

That means that the access privileges listed above do not have to be granted one by one but will be granted all at once after the person has been hired.

Further down, it reads:

"4. When do the birthright privileges become active?
A. Once the hiring form is approved and candidate has accepted the offer, an email is sent to prospective employee to have him/her setup BU email id and Kerberos password. As soon as the BU Login account is set up, the birthright privileges (BU Login/Kerberos, Exchange, Wireless/VPN, Skype and AD settings) are activated. Access to SAP ESS and full display in the Online Directory are not set up until the start of employment."

This term might be more common in connection with Kerberos than with SAP. My suggestions of a translation is not more than just that: a suggestion. I am neither an SAP nor a Kerberos specialist.

A very interesting Blog post concerning this topic and providing an answer to the question at hand:

https://blog.identityautomation.com/onboarding-and-offboardi...

"Modern IAM enables organizations to ***Üimplement role- and attribute-based access controls that automatically add and remove access rights according to a user’s specific attributes or role.*** By providing a database of roles determined by location, manager, department, or other variables, IT administrators can easily assign users the proper permissions without any guesswork or room for error."

I would say that 'automatische Erteilung rollen- bzw. attributspezifischer Benutzerberechtigungen' would bring the idea across, so 'birthright roles' could be 'transplained' as 'automatisch erteilte funktions- bzw. attributspezifische Rollen'.

Example sentence(s):
  • As soon as the BU Login account is set up, the birthright privileges (BU Login/Kerberos, Exchange, Wireless/VPN, Skype and AD settings) are activated.
  • 12. When do employees lose birthright privileges? A. If the employee is terminated, retired or goes on Long Term Disability, they lose birthright privileges.
