To effectively learn the Fulfillment workflow, prior knowledge of the Approval Flow Engine is recommended, along with an understanding of key concepts such as Business Request, Business Request Items, and Item Type Actions. Please refer to the Approval Flow Engine and Admin Training documentation for further information. |
I will explain the key concepts required to understand the Fulfillment workflow.
Business Request
A Business Request is a formal submission by users within an organization to request access to resources. It is directed to managers, resource owners, or delegated authorities for approval or rejection. In Empower ID, business requests group lists of actions for approval. These actions may include adding or removing group members, assigning management roles, or performing other tasks. The Business Request serves as a container that organizes related items also known as Business Request Items.
Creating a demo Business Request
First, go to your EmpowerID Web UI. Expand the IAM Shop, and under it, click on Shop for Access and it will take you to the IT Shop
On the IT Shop page, click the Request Access button next to any two groups. Make sure you have selected Groups from the dropdown.
When you click the Request Access button, a window will appear. From there, click the Add to Cart button to add the group to your cart.
Now, from the dropdown, select Management Roles. In the grid, click the Request Access button next to any role. A window will appear; click the Add to Cart button.
Click the Cart icon at the top right of the UI. A window will appear, listing your selected groups and a management role. For each group, choose New application roll-out from the dropdown. For the management role, choose New or additional responsibilities, then click the Evaluate Request button.
After clicking the Evaluate Request button, few controls will appear in the window. In the first textbox, enter the Business Request name, e.g., FWTest BR. Click on the Submit button.
