Entitlement workflow parameters

Entitlement workflows for accounts and access both have a fixed set of input and output parameters. The set cannot be modified by an ISIM user.

The input parameters are.

Entity
A relevant data item that represents the account or access that is acted upon.

For an account request workflow, the entity type for this entry is Account. If the operation is Add, this object contains the data for the new account. If the operation is Modify, this object contains the modified attributes. For an access request workflow, the entity type for this entry is UserAccess. The entity type is inherited from Account and contains the data for a new account or changes to an existing account to provision the access. It also includes other information for the access:

  • identifier
  • name
  • description
  • owner

Service
A relevant data item that represents the service to which the account or access is associated. The entity type for this entity is Service.

Owner
A relevant data item that represents the person to whom the account or access belongs. The entity type for this entity is Person.

A single output represents the account or UserAccess entity for which the request is issued. This output parameter allows changes that are made to the account or UserAccess object that communicates with the provisioning system. For example, an RFI can be used to request that an administrator manually enters account values. The resulting account object is returned to the provisioning system with the values.
