13.4 Understanding SoD Case Status

Identity Governance tracks and records all decisions and selections during the life cycle of an SoD case. The following table provides a brief description of the possible status of an SoD case.

SoD Case Status

Description

Not Reviewed

When an SoD violation is first detected, an SoD case is created, and it is put into this state. It indicates that nobody has yet determined what to do about the violation. Users may have looked at it, but they have not determined whether to approve it or whether to request that certain permissions be removed in order to resolve it.

Approved

SoD case has been looked at by a user and was approved. Approval means the user determined that the SoD violation could continue for a certain period of time – the control period. There may be one or more compensating controls that were specified. Compensating controls are basically the conditions under which the approval was granted, that is it is expected that the compensating controls will be in effect during the approval period.

Approval Expired

SoD case was approved at one time, but the control period has expired.

Resolving

SoD case has been looked at by a user, and the user determined that one or more permissions should be removed in order to resolve the SoD violation. Change requests will have been initiated to remove one or more permissions. The SoD case will be in the resolving state until Identity Governance detects that the permission(s) have actually been removed. The resolving state can also be overridden if a user later on decides to approve the case instead of resolving it.

On Hold - Policy Inactive

SoD case is on hold because the policy has been deactivated.

On Hold - Policy Invalid

SoD case is on hold because the policy has become invalid. A SoD policy would become invalid if any of the permissions or technical roles it specified were deleted from the catalog.

Closed - Policy Deleted

SoD case has been closed because the SoD policy has been deleted. Thus, there is no longer an SoD policy to violate.

Closed - Policy Conditions Changed

SoD case has been closed because the SoD policy's conditions were changed.

Closed - Permissions or Roles Removed

SoD case has been closed because the violating user or account no longer has one or more of the permissions or technical roles that was causing the violation.

Closed - User Deleted

SoD case has been closed because the violating user is no longer found in the catalog.

Closed - Account Deleted

SoD case has been closed because the violating account is no longer found in the catalog.
