(Optional) Design and create entitlements for your Identity Manager system.

Entitlements are a set of defined criteria for a person or group that can be applied to multiple drivers. After the criteria are met, the entitlements initiate an event to grant or revoke access to business resources. Entitlements add an additional level of control and automation for granting and revoking resources.

The key benefit of entitlements is to create and define business logic, and then apply that logic to multiple drivers. If you need to make a change, you change it in the entitlement instead of in each driver.

Entitlements are implemented through three agents:
