Workflows

A workflow is a set of steps or activities that define a business process. For example, we can use workflows to customize account provisioning and lifecycle management, such as adding, removing, and modifying users and accounts in ISIM.

There is no inheritance relationship between a workflow and users or policies in an organization tree. A workflow does not need to be at or above a level in an organization tree. There is no inheritance of workflows to users. There is no placement relationship between workflows and provisioning policies.

• Workflow participants
  A key component of approval workflow nodes is the participant and escalation participant. The escalation participant is one or more signature authorities that must approve or reject the request.
• Workflows and the organization tree
  Workflows can use one of the dynamic participant types that are determined at run time. Workflows can also explicitly map an object instance, such as a specific user, as a participant.
