Configuring a Move activity
When you configure a Move activity, you can specify the rules for selecting the object you want the activity to move, and specify the container to move the object to (destination container). Additional options are available such as notification, error handling, and “Run as” options.
To configure a Move activity
-
In the Active Roles Console tree, expand Configuration > Policies > Workflow, and select the workflow containing the Move activity you want to configure.
This opens the Workflow Designer in the Details pane, representing the workflow definition as a process diagram.
-
In the process diagram, right-click the name of the activity and click Properties.
-
Navigate to the Activity target tab in the “Move” Activity Properties dialog.
-
Click in the Activity performs the operation on this object box to specify the object you want the activity to move. This object is referred to as activity target. You can choose from the following options to specify the activity target:
-
Fixed object in directory: The activity target is the given object. You can select the desired object in Active Directory when you configure the Move activity.
-
Object identified by workflow parameter: The activity target is the object specified by the value of a certain parameter of the workflow. You can choose the desired parameter from the workflow definition when you configure the Move activity.
-
Object from workflow data context: The activity target will be selected by the activity on the basis of the data found in the workflow environment at the time of executing the workflow. You can specify which object you want the activity to select at workflow run time.
-
Object identified by DN-value rule expression: The Distinguished Name (DN) of the activity target is specified by the string value of a certain rule expression. By using a rule expression you can compose a string value based on properties of various objects found in the workflow environment at the time of executing the workflow. You can create the desired rule expression when you configure the Move activity.
-
Navigate to the Destination container tab in the “Move” Activity Properties dialog box.
-
Click in the Activity moves the object to this container box to specify the container to which you want the activity to move the target object. You can choose from the following options:
-
Fixed container in directory: With this option, the activity moves the object to the given OU or container. You can select the desired OU or container in Active Directory when you configure the Move activity.
-
Parent OU of workflow target object: With this option, the activity moves the object to the OU that holds the target object of the request that started the workflow. This option is unavailable in case of an automation workflow.
-
Activity target object: With this option, the activity moves the object to the OU or container created or otherwise processed by another CRUD activity at the time of executing the workflow. You can select the desired CRUD activity from the workflow definition when you configure the Move activity.
-
Object identified by workflow parameter: With this option, the activity moves the object to the OU or container specified by the value of a certain parameter of the workflow. You can choose the desired parameter from the workflow definition when you configure the Move activity.
-
Object from workflow data context: With this option, the activity moves the object to the OU or container that is selected by the Move activity on the basis of the data found in the workflow environment at the time of executing the workflow. When configuring a Move activity, you can specify which OU or container you want the activity to select at workflow run time.
-
Object identified by DN-value rule expression: With this option, the activity moves the object to the OU or container whose Distinguished Name (DN) is specified by the string value of a certain rule expression. By using a rule expression, you can compose a string value based on properties of various objects found in the workflow environment at the time of executing the workflow. You can create the desired rule expression when you configure the Move activity.

Configuring a Deprovision activity
A Deprovision activity is intended to apply the Active Roles deprovisioning policies to a particular user or group. This activity causes Active Roles to perform all the tasks prescribed by the deprovisioning policies, thereby deprovisioning the user or group.
When you configure a Deprovision activity, you can specify the rules for selecting the user or group you want the activity to deprovision. Additional options are available such as notification, error handling, and “Run as” options.
To configure a Deprovision activity
-
In the Active Roles Console tree, expand Configuration > Policies > Workflow, and select the workflow containing the Deprovision activity you want to configure.
This opens the Workflow Designer in the Details pane, representing the workflow definition as a process diagram.
-
In the process diagram, right-click the name of the activity and click Properties.
-
Go to the Activity target tab in the “Deprovision” Activity Properties dialog.
-
Click in the Activity performs the operation on this object box to specify the user or group you want the activity to deprovision. This object is referred to as activity target. You can choose from the following options to specify the activity target:
-
Fixed object in directory: The activity target is the given object. You can select the desired object in Active Directory when you configure the Deprovision activity.
-
Object identified by workflow parameter: The activity target is the object specified by the value of a certain parameter of the workflow. You can choose the desired parameter from the workflow definition when you configure the Deprovision activity.
-
Object from workflow data context: The activity target is selected by the activity on the basis of the data found in the workflow environment at the time of running the workflow. When configuring the Deprovision activity, you can specify which object you want the activity to select at workflow run time.
-
Object identified by DN-value rule expression: The Distinguished Name (DN) of the activity target is specified by the string value of a certain rule expression. By using a rule expression, you can compose a string value based on properties of various objects found in the workflow environment at the time of executing the workflow. You can create the desired rule expression when you configure the Deprovision activity.

Configuring an Undo deprovision activity
An Undo deprovision activity is intended to restore a particular user or group that was deprovisioned by using Active Roles. The activity causes Active Roles to roll back the changes that were made to the user or group object by applying the Active Roles deprovisioning policies. As a result, the object reverts to the state it was in before the deprovisioning-related changes were made.
When you configure an Undo deprovision activity, you can specify the rules for selecting the user or group you want the activity to restore. Additional options are available such as notification, error handling, and “Run as” options.
To configure an Undo deprovision activity
-
In the Active Roles Console tree, expand Configuration > Policies > Workflow, and select the workflow containing the Undo deprovision activity you want to configure.
This opens the Workflow Designer in the Details pane, representing the workflow definition as a process diagram.
-
In the process diagram, right-click the name of the activity and click Properties.
-
Go to the Activity target tab in the “Undo Deprovision” Activity Properties dialog.
-
Click in the Activity performs the operation on this object box to specify the user or group you want the activity to restore. This object is referred to as activity target. You can choose from the following options to specify the activity target:

-
Object identified by workflow parameter: The activity target is the object specified by the value of a certain parameter of the workflow. You can choose the desired parameter from the workflow definition when you configure the Undo deprovision activity.

When configuring the Undo deprovision activity, you can specify which object you want the activity to select at workflow run time.
-
Object identified by DN-value rule expression: The Distinguished Name (DN) of the activity target is specified by the string value of a certain rule expression. By using a rule expression, you can compose a string value based on properties of various objects found in the workflow environment at the time of running the workflow. You can create the desired rule expression when you configure the Undo deprovision activity.
