When you create roles, you send each role through a role approval process. The approver, or an alternate approver, assigned to the role can approve or reject the role.

You integrate Enterprise Role Management (ERM) with Compliant User Provisioning (CUP) to enable an approval process. The approval process allows documented collaboration among different stakeholders involved in the role management process. It provides control checking and evaluation during role design.

Workflow configuration is required in both ERM and CUP in order for the approval process to work. You must configure a role approver in each capability. Whether approvers are two different people, or the same person in each case, nevertheless the ERM approver must be entered in ERM and the CUP approver must be entered in CUP.

Process

The role approval process is as follows:

  1. To assign approvers or modify existing approvers, see Assigning Approvers.

  2. To initiate the approval process when the role has the correct approvers, submit it for review.

  3. To create a new request to notify the approvers that the role is ready for review, when you initiate the approval process Enterprise Role Management sends the role approval information to Compliant User Provisioning.

    Note Note

    Once the role has been submitted for review, you cannot make changes to the role in Enterprise Role Management until you receive a response from the approver.

    End of the note.

  4. The approver logs in to Compliant User Provisioning and approves or rejects the role.

When the Approval button is selected, you are then prompted for a requestor comment. You use this text box to enter instructions to the role approver. You receive the following message: Role is submitted for approval; Compliant User Provisioning request number xxxxx.
