Additional tasks for attestation cases

Once you have started attestation for an attestation policy, you can monitor the attestation case in One Identity Manager. The task view contains different forms with which you can run the following tasks.

Attestation case overview

The overview form supplies you with the most important information about an attestation case. Here you can see the time by which an attestation case will be processed, depending on the processing time. One Identity Manager does not stipulate which actions are carried out if processing times out. Define your own custom actions or evaluations to deal with this situation.

To obtain an overview of an attestation case

  1. In the Manager, select the Attestation > Attestation runs > <attestation policy> > Attestation runs > <year> > <month> > <day> category.

  2. Select the Pending attestations or the Completed attestations filter.

  3. Select an attestation case from the result list.

  4. Select Attestation case overview.

Approval sequence

For pending attestation cases, see the current status of the approval process. The approval sequence is shown as soon as the DBQueue Processor has determined the attestors for the first approval step. In the approval workflow, you can view the approval sequence, the results of each approval step, and the attestors found. If the approval procedure could not find an attestor, the attestation case is canceled by the system.

To display the approval sequence of a pending attestation case

  1. In the Manager, select the category

    • Attestation > Attestation runs > Attestation policies > <attestation policy> > Attestation runs > <year> > <month> > <day> > Pending attestations - OR -

    • Attestation > Attestation run > Policy collections> <policy collection> > Attestation runs > <year> > <month> > <day> > Pending attestations.

  2. Select an attestation case from the result list.

  3. Select the Approval sequence task.

Each approval level of an approval workflow is represented by a special control. The attestors responsible for a particular approval step are shown in a tooltip. Pending attestation questions are also shown in tooltips. These elements are shown in color, the color code reflecting the current status of the approval level.
