A scoping rule is a method used to define the criteria for including or excluding identities or resources within a specific operation or evaluation in SailPoint IdentityIQ. Scoping rules are particularly important for focusing on a subset of identities based on certain attributes or conditions, thereby controlling what data and resources are considered during processes such as certifications, access request, and policy enforcement.
The term "ScopeCorrelation" refers specifically to a correlation method that helps determine how identities relate to various resources based on certain attributes or rules. It plays a crucial role in ensuring that the right identities are considered for specific operations, which is a key aspect of effective identity governance.
The other options refer to different concepts within SailPoint IdentityIQ. "IdentityAttributeTarget" typically relates to targeting specific attributes of identities within a broader context, "TargetCreation" refers to the process of creating targets for integration with external systems, and "CompositeTierCorrelation" pertains to a more complex correlation mechanism that combines multiple tiers or dimensions of identity data. While all these concepts are relevant in the functioning of IdentityIQ, they do not specifically describe scoping rules.
