To develop an effective risk management plan, organizations must first identify routine business operations that users carry out to achieve business objectives. Examples of these tasks include creating purchase orders, modifying group memberships, and editing user attributes. EmpowerID refers to these activities as "Functions," which are business-defined actions performed within one or more applications. Functions are objects created by organizations to represent user activities in IT systems using everyday business terminology. Once these tasks are defined, it is crucial to create corresponding Functions in EmpowerID and map them to the technical system and roles associated with executing these actions.

How to create a global function

  1. On the navbar, expand Compliance and click Risk Management.

  2. On the Risk Management page, select the Global Functions tab and then click the Add button.

     

  3. Enter the following information in the dialog that appears:

    • Name – Enter a name for the function that represents the task in your business process language, such as Manage Azure Group Memberships

    • Display Name – Enter a display name for the function. Display names are friendly names that appear in the user interface

    • Description – Enter a description for the function

    • Function Type – Select the type that best represents the category for the function, such as Data Protection or Financial

    • Risk Level – Select the level of risk for the function

    • Location – Click the Select a Location link and then search for and select a creation location for the function

    • Locale Key (Unique Name) – Optionally, enter a locale key to create a localized entry for the function

    • Locale Key for Description – Optionally, if you are creating a localized entry for the function enter a description for the locale key

    • Is Enabled – Specify whether to enable the function for processing

    • Is Shipping Data – For internal use only
