In EmpowerID, an audit is a logically named user-defined object for identifying or grouping recertification tasks and running the recertification policies that generate them. After creating an audit, you can add one or more recertification policies to it. When the audit runs, it creates a recertification task for each item in the policy. Account validity recertification policy is to certify whether an account should exist or not. Possible decisions are: certify, disable and delete. We will create an audit and add a account validity type recertification policy.
Pre-requisite for recertification policies, audit compilation and fulfilment of business requests.
To create an audit
On the navbar, expand Compliance and select Recertification.
Select the Audits tab on the Recertification page and click + icon to Create Audit.
Enter the name, display name, and description.
Select location from the location tree. The location of the audit has no impact on business logic. Location is required so that we can delegate who can see, edit or delete it.
Select the audit owner. This is the person responsible for running this audit. The owner of the audit will be initiator of the corresponding business requests. The audit owner will get notifications when the business requests are approved or rejected.
Select the started date and due date. An audit it is like a project with an start data and an end date.
Is Template: The audit may be a one time audit or a template. For example, if it is every 90 days contractor access audit, we may not want to create a new audit every 90 days, rather we should create this kind of audit as template. A template audit can be specified with schedule like daily, monthly, weekly and custom interval. A new audit is created automatically at specified interval by cloning the templated audit.
