6.9 Provisioning Multiple Individuals with One Workflow Instance

You can configure a provisioning request definition so that one individual (for example, a manager) can provision multiple individuals (for example, members of a group) with one workflow. The provisioning request definition can be configured to provision any one of the following:

  • Multiple individual users from the default user container

  • All members of a group from the default group container (for example, Sales, Marketing, HR, IT)

  • All members of any arbitrary Identity Vault container

To create this type of workflow, create the provisioning request definition as you normally would. On the Overview panel, select Single Flow Provision Members from the Flow Strategy list.
