EmpowerID provides a comprehensive wizard workflow titled "Onboard Group," designed to simplify and streamline the process of onboarding groups within your organization. This user-friendly workflow guides users through each step, allowing them to perform a variety of group-related tasks during the onboarding process, including:
Adding Permanent Members: Easily add permanent members to the group, ensuring that the appropriate individuals have access to the necessary resources within the organization.
Applying RBAC Membership Policies: Add people to the group based on their RBAC assignments, such as belonging to a particular Management Role, Business Role and Location, or group. If users no longer have the RBAC assignment, they are automatically removed from the group.
Assigning Responsibility Parties and Owners: Assign responsible parties and owners to the group
Configuring IAM Shop Settings for the Group: Publish the group to the IAM Shop, configure eligibility and Access Request policies for the group
