Reminding attestors about attestation objects

The hierarchical role manager and those responsible for system entitlements or system roles can view all pending attestation cases for this object in the Web Portal. If necessary, they can also send reminders to attestors of selected attestation objects.

To send notification about a specific attestation object

  • In the Designer, set the QER | Attestation | MailTemplateIdents | RemindApproverByObject configuration parameter.

    By default, notification is sent using the Attestation - remind approver of all open object attestations template.

TIP: To use something other than the default mail template for these notifications, change the value of the configuration parameter in the Designer.

Use the Web Portal to send notifications. For more information about this, see the One Identity Manager Web Designer Web Portal User Guide.

Approving or denying attestation cases

When an attestation case is approved or denied, other identities can receive a notification. This notification may be sent after approval or denial of a single approval step or once the entire approval procedure is complete. You can specify the recipient of the notification as required by the company.

Attestation cases can be automatically granted or denied approval once a specified time period has been exceeded. Notification is sent in the same way in this case.

To set up the notification procedure

  1. Create custom mail templates for sending notification if attestation cases have been granted or denied approval.

  2. Create company-specific processes for notifications.

  3. If notification should be sent immediately after an approval decision is made for a single approval step, enter the following data on the Mail templates tab of the approval step.

Notifying delegates

If required, a delegator can receive notifications if the deputy or recipient of the single delegation has made an approval decision in an attestation case. A notification is sent once an identity has been determined as an attestor due to delegation and has made an approval decision for the attestation case.

To send a notification when the identity who was delegated an approval approves or denies the attestation.

  • In the Designer, set the QER | ITShop | Delegation | MailTemplateIdents | InformDelegatorAboutDecisionAttestation configuration parameter.

    By default, a notification is sent with the Delegation - inform delegator about decided attestation mail template.

TIP: To use custom mail templates for emails of this type, change the value of the configuration parameter.

Delegations are taken into account in the following default approval procedures.

Jan User3 is responsible for the R1 business role. They delegate their responsibility for the business role to Jo User1. Jo User1 is themselves responsible for R2 business role.

A member of R1 business role is to be attested. In the attestation procedure, Jan User3 is established as an attestor through the OM - Manager of a specific role approval procedure. The attestation case is assigned to Jo User1 for approval through delegation. Jan User3 is notified as soon as Jo User1 has made their approval decision about the attestation case.

A member of R2 business role is to be attested. In the attestation procedure, Jo User1 is established as an attestor through the OM - Manager of a specific role approval procedure. No notification is sent because Jo User1 does not make the approval decision due to delegation.
