Provision/Deprovision on date

This feature is used to provide future dated access. For instance, when a user is provisioned today, but a role he was assigned with has a start date at come point in future. Consequently, the user will execute a batch task on or around this point in future, specifying the date range in minutes to grant access to the user.

This task performs two operations:

  1. Provisioning: It loads user's entitlements collections such as UserResources, UserRoles and UserGroups, which start date lies in date range FROM -> NOW - minutes(param1), To -> NOW ... all such entitlements falling in date range are set as ADD operation and user is sent for provisioning with UPDATE operation.
  2. Deprovisioning: It loads all the UserResources, UserRoles, UserGroups, UserResources whose end date lies in date range FROM -> NOW - minutes(param1), To -> NOW ... all such entitlements falling in date range are set as REPLACE operation and user is sent for provisioning with UPDATE operation. The only thing different here is that only those managed systems are entertained here, which do not already support entitlement dates at their end. Meaning they do not handle deprovisioning at end system level.

If the 'Supports date for affiliations' checkbox, as shown below, is checked during the configuration of the managed system, then this batch task does not involve the managed system, as it can handle deprovisioning on its own. Managed system checkbox
