A new feature in IdentityIQ version 8.1 adds efficiency to access reviews by using IdentityAI's recommendation engine to let you automatically approve access based on recommendations. With this feature enabled, any access review item that has a recommendation of "thumbs up" is automatically moved from the reviewer's Open tab to the Review tab, with an "Approved" decision. Reviewers retain the option of changing the automated decision, as needed, before signing off on the review. Automated approvals help your reviewers process access reviews quickly and more efficiently by taking easy decisions out of the way so that they can focus on exceptional items.
The automated approvals feature requires that you have implemented IdentityIQ's IdentityAI recommendation engine.
Any IdentityIQ system that has the IdentityAI recommendation engine implemented can enable automated approvals both globally, and at the individual certification level.
To enable automated approvals as the global default:
You can use automated approvals in these types of certification:
Important: Exercise caution when staging certifications that have automatic approvals enabled. If you include a staging period with a certification that has automatic approvals enabled, then later disable either recommendations or automatic approvals, items that were flagged for automatic approval during staging will lose the starred automatically-approved icon, but will remain approved and will still show initially on the reviewer's Review tab rather than the Open tab.
To enable automated approvals in Targeted Certifications:
To enable automated approvals in all other supported certification types:
The icon for Auto Approved Recommendations is the standard "thumbs up" icon, with a star.
Any access review item that has a recommendation of "thumbs up" is automatically moved from the reviewer's Open tab to the Review tab, with an "Approved" decision.
Reviewers retain the option of changing the automated decision, as needed, before signing off on the review.
Users still have to sign off on automatically approved items in the Review tab. If the user reverses an automatic approval, the item is moved back to the user's Open tab for further review as needed.
For quick viewing of all automatically approved items, users can Filter the items in their Access Review.
To filter on automatically approved items:
You can include automated approval information in reports, to help track and monitor items that have been automatically approved.
