Moving People

Home / Identity Administration / People / Current: Moving People

When the Business Role or Location of people within your organization changes, you can move those people to a new Business Role and Location within EmpowerID as appropriate. EmpowerID provides a number of workflows and UI methods for doing so, with different options available depending on the method selected. This topic demonstrates using each of these methods.

If Resource Entitlement or Default Attribute policies have been applied to either the old or the new Business Role and Location, EmpowerID will perform the actions associated with those policies, adding and removing any resource entitlements or default attributes specified by those policies. For information on how to work with these policies, see Provisioning Policies and Creating Default Attribute Values Policies.

To move people in simple mode

When moving people in simple mode, you select the new Business and Location for the people you are moving from a list of Suggested Business Roles and Locations, also known as Business Role and Location Combinations. By default, EmpowerID includes one Suggested Business Role and Location, the Standard Employee in Temporary Location Business Role and Location; however, you can create new ones as needed. For information on creating these, see Creating Business Role and Location Combinations.

In the Navigation Sidebar of the EmpowerID Web interface, expand Identities and click People.
From the Actions pane of Person Manager, click the Move Person Simple Mode action.
In the Select People Lookup that appears, search for a person you want to move and then tick the box to the left of the person record to select it.
Repeat step 3, searching for and selecting any other people you want to move.

All selected people are moved to the same Business Role and Location. To move people to different Business Roles and Locations, move them separately.
When you have completed selecting the people you want to move, click Submit.
In the Suggested Business Role and Locations lookup that appears, search for the new Business Role and Location, click the record for that Business Role and Location to select it and then click Submit.
