1.5 Identity Manager Workflows

You can also set up workflows to improve the efficiency in managing and assigning roles and resources. You can perform following tasks with appropriate permissions:

  • Create workflows to reduce the administrative burden of entering, updating, and deleting user information across all systems in the enterprise. These workflows provide a Web-based interface for users to manipulate distributed identity data that triggers workflows as necessary. For more information, see Section IV, Configuring and Managing Provisioning Workflows.

  • Support complex workflows and manage manual and automated provisioning of identities, services, resources, and assets.

    You can establish a manual provisioning process by creating workflows that route provisioning requests to one or more authorities. For automated provisioning, you can configure the Identity Applications to start workflows automatically in response to events occurring in the Identity Vault. The Dashboard can trigger a workflow when users request permission. For more information, see Section IV, Configuring and Managing Provisioning Workflows.
