Triggering Workflows
Note: You can also configure an IdentityIQ task to trigger a workflow. This workflow set up is a more complex process. See Advanced Workflow Topics .
Events that occur in other parts of IdentityIQ and changes to attributes can trigger Workflows. Common Workflow triggers include:
-
Lifecycle Manager Actions – Requests to change an identity's roles, entitlements, or accounts can activate workflows.
-
Lifecycle Events – Creating an identity, deactivating an identity, or moving an identity from one manager to another manager can activate workflows.
-
Non-Lifecycle Events – Editing a role, editing an account group, and changing a password can active workflows.
-
Identity Attribute Change – Value changes can activate workflows.
-
Policy Violations – A policy violation can activate workflows.
This table lists the main areas of IdentityIQ where you can associate Workflows to system activities.
