Determining options when running an identity refresh in a workflow step

Determining options when running an identity refresh in a workflow step

As many of you may know, we can run an Identity Refresh on a single identity as part of any workflow. This is used in several places in our out-of-the-box workflows to refresh certain items for an Identity.

 

One such example is in our "LCM Create and Update" workflow. In this workflow, we call the identityRefresh workflow method as such after we make changes to the cube being Created or Edited:

<Step action="call:refreshIdentity" condition="ref:doRefresh" icon="Task" name="Refresh Identity" posX="954" posY="114">

    <Arg name="identityName" value="ref:identityName"/>

    <Arg name="correlateEntitlements" value="true"/>

    <Arg name="provision" value="true"/>

    <Arg name="synchronizeAttributes" value="true"/>

 

In this case, the Identity Refresh step will do the following:

  1. correlateEntitlements - Refresh assigned, detected roles and promote additional entitlements - Handle Role Assignments/Deassignments
  2. provision - Provision assignments - Handle provisioning related to Role Assignments/Deassignments
  3. synchronizeAttributes - Synchronize attributes - Provision any Identity Attribute changes to the targets defined in your Identity Mappings

 

Any options available in the Identity Refresh task may be set and passed in as arguments for your identityRefresh Workflow Method call.

 

See the table here for what those options are:

Task Argument Identity Refresh Task UI Option Used for:
checkHistory Maintain identity histories  
checkPolicies Check active policies Check the identity for any policy violations
correlateEntitlements Refresh assigned, detected roles and promote additional entitlements Handle Role Assignments/Deassignments (use in conjunction with "provision" below to provision the changes caused by these assignments.
correlateScope Refresh assigned scope  
deleteDormantGroups Clean up groups definitions that are no longer referenced  
disableManagerLookup Disable connector lookup of managers that do not correlate  
doManualActions Enable the generation of work items for unmanaged parts of the provisioning plan.  
enablePartitioning Enable partitioning Not applicable when refreshing a single identity - This option is only used when refreshing many identities, not just a single one.
excludeInactive Exclude identities marked inactive  
forceWorkflow Always launch the workflow (even if the usual triggers don't apply)  
includeWindowModified Include modified identities in the refresh window  
keepInactiveViolations Keep previous violations  
markDormantScopes Mark dormant scopes after refresh  
noAutoCreateScopes Disable auto creation of scopes  
noRoleDeprovisioning Disable deprovisioning of deassigned roles  
processTriggers Process events Run LCM Lifecycle Events if configured
promoteAttributes Refresh identity attributes Update Identity Attributes based on Aggregated Data
promoteManagedAttributes Promote managed attributes  
provision Provision assignments Handle provisioning related to Role Assignments/Deassignments
refreshCertifications Refresh continuous certifications  
refreshCompositeApplications Refresh logical application links  
refreshGroups Refresh the group scorecards Refresh your Groups (based on Define --> Groups --> Groups configuration) based on Identity attribute changes
refreshIdentityEntitlements Refresh Identity Entitlements for all links  
refreshLinks Refresh all application account attributes Refresh all of a user's account attributes. This forces an aggregation of all of a user's accounts.
refreshManagerStatus Refresh manager status Refresh a user's manager status based on any changes to the Identity
refreshRoleMetadata Refresh role metadata for each identity
