How To Create Lifecycle Events

Assign an intuitive name for the event. This name is used to identify the event. This name is not displayed in the requests that are created when an event is triggered.

Assign a brief description of the event.

The fields displayed above Disabled are dependent on the Event Type specified here.

Specify an event type:

• Create – launch a certification when a new identity is discovered.

• Manager Transfer – launch a business process when the manager changes for an identity.

• Attribute Change – launch a business process when a change is detected for the specified attribute.

• Rule – use a rule to determine when to launch a business process. To make changes to your rules, click the [...] icon to launch the Rule Editor.

• Native Change – launch a business process when a change is detected on a native application that was configured to pass this information to IdentityIQ.

• Alert – launch a business process when an alert is triggered.

• Rapid Setup – launch a rapid setup business process when the selected RapidSetup Process is detected.

Select the identity attribute from the list to associate with this event. The attribute dropdown list contains all of the standard and extended identity attributes configured in your deployment of IdentityIQ.

The RapidSetup business process context in which this lifecycle event should be evaluated.

Enabled / Disabled status of the event.

For Rule event types only:

Select the event rule used to launch business processes.
Rules are created as part of the configuration process of IdentityIQ.

Select a rule to define the population.

None – only the identities specified in the Included Identities list are in the population.

All – include all identities in the population.

Match List – only identities whose criteria match that specified in the list. Add identity attributes, application attributes and application permissions. Customize further by creating attribute groups to which this assignment rule applies.
If the Is Null checkbox is selected, the associated value text box is disabled. When the Is Null match is processed, the term matches users on the chosen application who have a null value for that attribute / permission.

Filter – a custom database query.

Script – a custom script.

Rule – select an existing rule from the dropdown list. Click Edit Rule to launch the Rule Editor.

Population – select an existing population.

To use an Identity Processing Threshold to stop lifecycle events before they are fully processed, in case of accidentally-triggered business process, set a type and value for the threshold.

For more information, see Using Identity Processing Thresholds for Error Prevention.

Fixed – must be a positive whole number greater than 1. Decimals are not allowed when using a Fixed Threshold.

Percentage – must be a positive whole number between 1 and 100.

Select the business process triggered by this event.
The business process dropdown list contains all of the standard and extended business processes configured in your IdentityIQ deployment.
