About My Tasks

EmpowerID provides a central location called "My Tasks" from which users can view the status of their access requests, make, and respond to comments about those requests, and in situations where they are designated approvers, approve or reject access requests submitted by other users.

The My Tasks interface consists of several pages of task and request-related information relative to the current user presented in an easy-to-navigate single-page application experience. The main pages are the My Requests page, the To Do page, and the All page. Users navigate from page to page by selecting the desired page from menus prominently displayed at the top of the application.

The My Requests page displays access requests submitted by the user or by another user on their behalf. From this page, users can view the status of their access requests, see who the approver is and add comments about their request.

The To Do page displays access request-related tasks for which the user is an approver. From this page, users can make decisions about those tasks, add comments, and delegate them to others.

The All page displays all access request-related information.

The My Tasks Microservice

Microservices are small, decoupled software modules that run independently and communicate with each other using specific API contracts. The EmpowerID My Tasks microservice follows this pattern, which allows the My Tasks application to be deployed to Azure or IIS decoupled from the EmpowerID platform. The deployment model for Azure hosting is depicted in Figure 1 below.

Architecture of the My Tasks Microservice Application

The EmpowerID My Tasks microservice is an EmpowerID application that is predefined with numerous protected application subcomponents – termed “subcomponents” from this point forward – out of the box. Each of the pages and controls for navigating My Tasks is a subcomponent of the application. Each subcomponent is itself an application, which means access to these controls can be added to and removed from users through Access Level assignments. Additionally, this architecture makes the microservice customizable. Subcomponents can be added to and removed from the application directly in the EmpowerID Web interface.

Subcomponents configured with the default My Tasks microservice include those listed in Table 1 below.
