Account validity recertification policy is to certify whether an account should exist or not. For example, in a company there may be employees access recertification or review yearly. 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 as per the responsible party. For any item being recertified where its responsible party is null, it bundles them all into one business request where the subject of the request is the fall-back assignee. Recertification policies are policies that you add to audits to generate recertification review tasks for the access assignments given to people, roles, groups, and query-based collections.
