Completing a compliance alert activity

We can correct or defer accounts or access entitlements that do not comply with a policy.

Policy compliance alerts can be displayed when accounts or access entitlements do not comply with a policy. For example, we have an existing account to use an employee records database. An administrator creates a policy that states that we must be assigned to the role of HRManager to access the records. To bring the account back into compliance, we must be assigned the role of HRManager.

We might need to defer policy compliance alerts. In the example, assume that we cannot assign the HRManager role to each account without first verifying that the owner of each account belongs in the role of HRManager. You determine that the amount of time it takes to verify that each account owner exceeds the escalation period of the alert, at which time, the alert is forwarded. We can decide to defer the compliance alert, which keeps the item in your activities list for an extended period.

We can correct or defer multiple policy compliance alerts at one time if they are grouped together in your activities list.

Policy compliance alerts listed in your activities list are part of workflow processes that require your response before they can complete.
