Types of Rules and Scripts

Rules and scripts are used in many places within IdentityIQ, including but not limited to:

• Modifying IdentityIQ behavior

• Validating and customizing aggregated data

• Filtering and modifying data during provisioning

• Advanced correlation of application accounts to Identity Cubes

In addition to these standard purposes, rules can implement automated tasks and perform advanced actions not contained in the standard features of IdentityIQ.

Scripts are similar to rules; the main difference between them is where they are stored. Scripts are embedded in the objects that use them, such as policy objects and workflows, whereas rules are separate objects that are referred to by the objects that use them.
