23.1 Account operations and inventory provisioning

When organizations use an automated workflow, authorizers use the Request approval module (nph-idp.exe) to review requests. If a request is ignored, it remains in the pending requests until it is approved or rejected by one or more authorizers. Users must be assigned as authorizers in ID-Synch to successfully authorize a request.

When a request is issued, ID-Synch notifies authorizers who were assigned to review changes on the:

• Target on which the account was created
• Template used to create the account or provision inventory
• Account group if membership is moderated

You can set an option to use the template authorizer rather than the target authorizer in the Central console (nph-psa.exe). See Workflow options for more information.

If a user initiates a change, and is assigned as an authorizer to the affected target, template, or group, then ID-Synch automatically makes the change without requiring any other authorization.
