Rapid Setup Joiner Overview

The Joiner process defines the operations that are run when a new user joins your organization.

These can include:

• Building a provisioning plan which includes:

  • Assigning birthright roles. Birthright roles are any business roles that all employees have simply because they are employees, The Rapid Setup Joiner process uses assignment rules to determine how these roles are assigned to identities.

  • Creating a new account on each application that has account-only provisioning enabled (if no account exists yet). Account-only provisioning is used when there are no roles or entitlements that require the creation of accounts, but you want an empty account created on the application for the user anyway. Account-only creation will occur only if the identity meets the creation criteria that is configured in the Joiner process for that application.

• Executing the provisioning plan. The provisioning business process for Joiners is configured at a global level for Rapid Setup. See Rapid Setup Configuration.

• Notifying the manager with results of provisioning.

• Optionally, notifying the manager when a temporary password is generated.

• Running an optional post-joiner rule.

The Joiner process must be enabled globally before users can configure and use it on a per-application basis. See Rapid Setup Configuration for details about global configuration.
