Provisioning accounts in SailPoint IdentityIQ (IIQ) primarily involves automated workflows. This method leverages the integrated capabilities of IdentityIQ to streamline and manage the entire account provisioning process effectively. Automated workflows ensure that account creation follows predefined business rules and policies, making it a more efficient and consistent method than manual interventions.
By utilizing automated workflows, organizations can handle complex provisioning tasks, including role-based access control, compliance requirements, and synchronization with various target systems. This is particularly important in ensuring user access is granted in a controlled manner that aligns with corporate governance and security standards.
While there are other methods for account provisioning, such as manual entry or batch processing, these are typically less efficient and more prone to errors. Manual entry relies on human input, which can lead to inconsistencies and delays, while batch processing may not provide the dynamism needed to react promptly to access requests. External scripts can also be used for provisioning, but they often lack the oversight and control inherent in automated workflows within IIQ.
In summary, automated workflows represent the most comprehensive and effective method for provisioning accounts, ensuring compliance, efficiency, and accuracy within the identity governance process.
