The group membership recertification policy is used to certify group membership, including Person resources for RBAC membership, group account, nested groups, and any of the type of direct assignments. For the recertification, an audit is created, which generates business requests that are sent for approval. The engine bundles the recertification items into business requests based on the object itself. Therefore in this case the group is the bundle for the business request and its members are items.
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. Group membership recertification policy is used to certify group membership, including user and nested groups. We will create an audit and add a group membership 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.
