Account Validity

The account Validity recertification policy collects and presents information to recertify the accounts owned by the users. Auditors can then review this information and determine whether a user's account is still necessary and should be certified. This process helps organizations ensure that only valid accounts exist as per compliance.

Recertification engine groups recertification items into a business request based on the Responsible Party assigned to each item or account.

In cases where an account has no responsible party assigned, the engine attempts to set the Account's Manager as the Responsible Party and groups the recertification items based on it.

Lastly, the fallback is grouping the business items by Fallback Group By Assignee. When an account has neither Responsible Party nor the Manager, the engine groups the accounts into business requests based on the Fallback Group By Assigne

The possible decisions for the business requests generated during the recertification process are certify, disable, or delete.
