Adding Recertification Policies to Audits
In EmpowerID, an audit is a user-defined, logically named object for identifying or grouping recertification tasks and running the
...
recertification policies that generate those tasks. After creating an audit, you add
...
recertification policies to it to define what you want to audit. Then when the audit runs, it compiles those
...
recertification policies, creating
...
any necessary recertification tasks.

...
Both the audit and the policy must exist in EmpowerID. If they do not, please see Creating Recertification Policies and Creating Audits for more information. |
To add Recertification policies to audits
To add recertification policies to audits
- Log in to the EmpowerID Web application as an auditor or other person with the ability to configure audits.
- In the Navigation Sidebar,
- expand Compliance Management and click Audit Configuration.
- Click the Audits tab and search for the audit to which you want to add a Recertification policy.

This opens the
- View One page for the Audit. View One pages allow you to view information about an object in EmpowerID and manage it as needed.
- From the audit's View One page, expand
- the Recertification Policies accordion and click
- the Add New Recertification Policy (+) button in the Policy grid.
-
- In the Recertification Policy dialog that appears, type the name of the policy you want to add to the audit, and then click the tile for that policy.
-
Optionally, type a number in the Ignore Any Certified Within Last X Days field.
Tip This is useful in situations where a previous audit
closed before all recertification tasks it generated
were completed.
This way, managers
only
receive recertification tasks for any direct reports who
were not certified in the last audit.
This setting does not completely exclude previously audited direct reports; it only excludes those access assignments that were re-certified within the specified day range. Thus, if a direct report gains access to a new resource, such as becoming the member of a new group, the audit
generates a
recertification task for that new membership.
- Click Save to add the Recertification policy to the audit.
You should see the policy - The policy is added to the Recertification Policies grid.

Once you have finished adding your Recertification policies to the audit, the next step is to generate the recertification tasks associated with the policies. You do this by compiling the audit. This is demonstrated in the Compiling Audits topic.
