Hybrid provisioning model

The hybrid model of provisioning resources combines request and role-based approaches, which are both supported by ISIM.

For a subset of employees or managed systems, a business might want to automate access with role-based assignment. A business might also handle all other access requests or exceptions through a request-based model. Some businesses might start with manual assignment, and evolve toward a hybrid model, with an intention of a fully role-based deployment at a future time.

Other companies might find it impractical for business reasons to achieve complete role-based provisioning, and target a hybrid approach as a wanted goal. Still other companies might be satisfied with only request-based provisioning, and not want to invest additional effort to define and manage role-based, automated provisioning policies.
