In case of revoke access, the system will trigger the selected user for deprovision from the selected application.
Approve / Reject User in All User Campaign
For the users who are marked “Approved”, such users will continue to have access to the resource. If there are multiple stages of approval then all approvers must mark as “approved”
For the users who are marked “Rejected” at any stage of the campaign, their access will be revoked immediately or unassigned from the application.
In case no approval or revocation is done, such users access will either be revoked as per the campaign configuration marked “revoke access for pending”. Else user’s access will continue if no action is taken during campaign period.
Users must be present in Cymmetri and assigned to applications (with or without roles)
Approving Authority i.e Manager should be present in the system, if not present then all the user's list pending for approvals will go to the Campaign manager.
The Applications selected for the Campaign must be Integrated for Provisioning and Deprovisioning, if not integrated then for the particular user, system will merely unlink the application for user.
