Management Role Membership Type Recertification Policy

The management role membership recertification policy is to certify the current members of a management role, including people, group, and business role and location. 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 based on the object itself. Therefore in this case the management role is the bundle for the business request and its members are items. The possible decisions are generally set to certify or revoke the member. However, these decisions are configurable. This configuration is described under decision configuration at the end of this page. In this post, we will create a management role membership type recertification policy and add a target to it.

You can also edit or change the workflows that should execute as per an approval decision. Just click on the edit icon on the above image.
To see how the business requests generated are grouped for approval, we need to open the approval step selected by right click and open in new window. Here the approval step is global owner as shown in the image above. In this case it is bundled as per two rule types (resource owner and global resource owner) as shown in the image below. Therefore, based on what is configured in approval step the business requests generated will be routed to for approval.
Workflow used: When you edit the Item Type Actions named Recertify Person as Management Role Member, you would be able to see the fulfillment workflow. For this policy type the fulfillment workflow is selected is Recertification fulfillment as shown in the image below. For the fulfillment the selected workflow is run. This workflow assignment is configurable as well. You can delete it and select another workflow if needed.
