User Account is not created in Active Directory (AD) when creating a new Employee via a Business role

The requirement is to create an ADSAccount account whenever an Employee is assigned to a Business Role.

Currently, when a new Employee is created using Identity Manager, the account is not created in Active Directory (AD) when the Employee is assigned to a Business Role.

For more information on creating Account definitions please refer to the Administration Guide for Connecting to Active Directory, Creating an account definition.

When Employees are added to the Business Role, they will inherit the account resource, and an ADSAccount object will be created.
