Users are also attested when the certification status for an employee is set to New at a later date (manually or through import). The Daily schedule is assigned to the New user certification attestation policy for this purpose. Attestation of new users is started when the time set in the schedule is reached. This process determines all employees with the certification status New and for whom no attestation cases are pending.
You can assign a custom schedule to the attestation policy if required.

IMPORTANT: In order to customize the default New user certification attestation policy, you must make changes to One Identity Manager objects. Always use a custom copy of the respective object to make changes.
It may be necessary to limit attestation of new users to a certain group of employees, for example, if only employees in a specific departments should be attested. To do this, you can extend the condition attached to the attestation policy. Create a custom attestation policy for this.
The following objects must be changed so that attestation of new users can be carried out with this attestation policy. Always create a copy of the respective object to do this.
- New user certification attestation policy
- VI_Attestation_Person_new_AttestationCase_for_Certification process
- VI_Attestation_AttestationCase_Person_Approval_Granted process
- VI_Attestation_AttestationCase_Person_Approval_Dismissed process
IMPORTANT: In order for attestation to run correctly in the Web Portal, the default Certification of users attestation procedure and the default Certification of users approval policy must be assigned to the attestation policy.
The default attestation procedure, the default approval policy, and the default Certification of users approval workflow must not be changed.

IMPORTANT: Access to connected target systems may possibly be denied to One Identity Manager users as a result of recertification. You can configure this behavior to meet your company’s requirements. Read the following section thoroughly before you use the recertification function.
One Identity Manager provides an attestation policy for performing cyclical attestation of existing users allowing companies to regularly test and authorize employee main data stored in the One Identity Manager database. Cyclical attestation is triggered through a scheduled task. This resets the certification status for all employees stored in the database. One Identity Manager uses the same procedure for this as for attesting new users. The case is referred to as recertification.
Result of recertification
-
Certified, activated employees who can access all entitlements assigned to them in One Identity Manager and the connected target systems.
Company resources are inherited. Account definitions are assigned to internal employees.
- OR -
-
Denied and permanently deactivated employees.
Disable employees cannot log in to One Identity Manager tools. Company resources are not inherited. Account definitions are not automatically assigned. User accounts associated with the employee are also locked or deleted. You can customize the behavior to meet your requirements.
To set up regular user attestation
-
In the Designer, set the required configuration parameters.
- Create a schedule and assign it to the User recertification attestation policy. By doing this, you replace the schedule assigned by default.
