What characterizes conditionally managed artifacts in SailPoint IdentityIQ?

Conditionally managed artifacts in SailPoint IdentityIQ are characterized by the possibility of migration across environments depending on specific conditions or criteria. This means that not all such artifacts will necessarily be carried over to different environments, such as from development to production; rather, their migration can be influenced by factors like the current state of the artifact, the policies associated with it, or specific deployment requirements.

The nature of conditional management allows for flexibility, ensuring that only relevant artifacts are transferred, aiding in maintaining the integrity and context of the identity management processes across different settings. This approach considers various operational parameters, allowing administrators to optimize what gets migrated based on the needs of the organization and the intended environment.

In contrast, other characteristics or options mentioned do not accurately capture the essence of conditional management for artifacts within SailPoint IdentityIQ. For instance, stating that they are always or never managed suggests a rigid approach that does not exist for conditionally managed artifacts. Additionally, while strict policies may indeed play a role in managing artifacts, they are not the defining characteristic of conditional management, which is primarily about the selective and situational nature of migration.
