Reprovisioning Business Roles

Use

You can use this feature to reprovision business roles to users when the technical roles assigned to the business roles have changed.

The application allows you to assign multiple technical roles to a logical role called a business role. This allows you to provision the authorizations from multiple technical roles to a user in one step by provisioning the single business role. This feature allows you to reprovision the business roles to users if the technical role assignments changed after you initially provisioned the roles.
