  3. In the General section of the form

...

  1. fill in the following fields:

...

    1. Name — Enter a name

...

    1. for the policy.

    2. Description — Enter a description for the policy.

    3. Directory — Select the inventoried directory for your Salesforce account.

  1. In the Throttling Settings section of the form, specify the provisioning and deprovisioning thresholds for the policy. These settings are as follows:

    • All Provisions Require Approval

...

    • If this option is selected, the provisioning of each RET specified by the policy will need to be approved by a user delegated access to the Resource Entitlement Inbox.

    • All Deprovisions Require Approval

...

    • If this option is selected, the deprovisioning of each RET specified by the policy will need to be approved by a user delegated access to the Resource Entitlement Inbox.

    • Require Approval if Provision Batch Larger Than Threshold

...

    • This field allows you to set a numeric value that needs to be reached by a single run of the Resource Entitlement Inbox before an approver needs to approve the provisions. If the threshold is reached, EmpowerID will not provision any of the Salesforce user accounts until approval is granted.

    • Require Approval if Deprovision Batch Larger Than Threshold

...

    • This field allows you to set a numeric value that needs to be reached by a single run of the Resource Entitlement Inbox before an approver needs to approve the deprovisions. If the threshold is reached, EmpowerID will not deprovision any of the Salesforce user accounts until approval is granted.

Info

As a best practice, when testing provisioning policies, select All Provisions Require Approval and All Deprovisions Require Approval to become familiar with how EmpowerID processes RETs. Then, when moving to production, you can set the approval thresholds to a number that makes sense for your environment.

...

  1. In the Advanced section of the form, do the following:

    1. Select a desired option from the On Claim Action drop-down. You have the following options:

      • Do Nothing — No action occurs. This tells EmpowerID to simply mark any previous resources assigned to the user that match this policy as RET-managed resources. For example, if the user already has a Salesforce user account and is placed in a Management Role targeted by the RET policy, EmpowerID marks that user's Salesforce account as RET managed.

      • Delete and Recreate — The user account is deleted and recreated.

      • Move — Marks any previous resources assigned to the user that match the RET as RET-managed resources and moves the user object to the OU specified by the RET policy.

      • Publish Workflow Event — Executes custom workflow code.

    2. Select a desired option from the On Transform Action drop-down. You have the following options:

      • Do Nothing — No action occurs.

      • Delete and Recreate — The user account is deleted and recreated.

      • Move — Marks this resource with the new RET policy number and moves the user object to the OU specified by the RET policy

      • Publish Workflow Event — Executes custom workflow code.

    3. Select a desired option from the On Revoke Action drop-down.

...

    1. You have the following options:

      • Do Nothing — No action occurs.

      • Deprovision — The Salesforce user account is deleted if the person no longer meets the criteria to receive the resource from the RET

...

Next, add Configuration Parameters to the policy you just created. These parameters allow you to specify the Salesforce profile and role each user created by the policy is to be assigned. If Configuration Parameters are not set, EmpowerID assigns all users to the Chatter Free profile by default.

To set the Configuration Parameters

...

      • .

      • Disable and move — The Salesforce user account is disabled if the person no longer meets the criteria to receive the resource from the RET.

      • Publish Workflow Event — Executes custom workflow code.

  1. Click Save to create the policy.

  2. After EmpowerID creates the policy, you should be directed to the completed Policy Details page for the policy.

...

  1. . This accordion allows you to assign the policy to any or the following EmpowerID actor types:

    • Business Roles and Locations — All people in the selected Business Role and Location combinations receive the resource granted by the policy.

    • Management Roles — All people in the selected Management Roles receive the resource granted by the policy.

    • Management Role Definitions — All Management Roles that are children of the selected Management Role Definition receive the resource granted by the policy.
