Quick answer

Configuring SoD, account and activity policies in SailPoint IdentityIQ, and how violations are detected and handled.

Key takeaways
  • SoD, account, activity, risk and advanced policies
  • SoD prevents toxic access combinations
  • Evaluated at refresh, request and certification
  • Violations block, require exceptions, or are remediated

Policy types

IdentityIQ supports separation-of-duties (SoD), account, activity, risk and advanced policies. SoD is the most common, preventing toxic combinations of access.

SoD policies

An SoD policy defines conflicting entitlements or roles. When an identity holds both sides, a violation is raised for review or remediation.

Detection

Policies are evaluated during identity refresh, access request (preventive) and certification, so violations surface both before and after access is granted.

Handling violations

Violations can block a request, require an exception approval, or be remediated by revoking access, all recorded for audit.
