Workflows may be configured for a number of use cases in the Cymmetri Platform, primary among them being for assigning application to a user (provisioning), unassigning application to a user (deprovisioning), user creation,application update and role assignment, workflow setup, and running campaigns.
Workflows can be categorized in two categories viz., Global Workflows and Custom Workflows.
In Cymmetri, workflows exhibit a versatile approval structure, accommodating upto 4 stages of approvals. Approvers can be designated as specific users, groups, or the reporting manager, offering a flexible and scalable solution.
This multi-stage approval capability ensures that critical tasks undergo a thorough and comprehensive review process.
Cymmetri allows the configuration of global provisioning workflows on a per-application basis.
The administrator selects the application for which the workflow needs to be configured and the selects the workflow menu option
Then enable the Application Provisioning radio button and select the number of approver level(s)
The administrator may select upto 4 approvers. Once selected the administrator can designate an approver at each level
For each stage, the administrator may select one of the three options -
User: A particular user may approve workflow request at this stage.
Group: A user belonging to the selected Group may approve Workflow request at this stage.
Reporting Manager: The reporting manager of the user for which the approval is to be provided may approve the workflow request at this stage. Click on save to save the workflow.
Cymmetri also allows to configure a Global User Creation Workflow. Here a workflow is triggered everytime a user is created from any source.
To access Global User Creation Workflow Configuration the administrator needs to go to Products->Lifecycle Management -> Workflow-> Configurations-> Global Configuration->User Creation
The administrator need to ensure that it is enabled and then click on the "Setup Workflow" button to configure the approvers
