Configure a lifecycle event

Quick answer

Step-by-step: configure a joiner, mover or leaver lifecycle event in SailPoint IdentityIQ.

Key takeaways

  • Events fire on identity change (joiner/mover/leaver)
  • Define the attribute condition or rule
  • Point the event at a provisioning workflow
  • Test by changing data and running refresh

1. Define the trigger

A lifecycle event fires on an identity change, for example a new identity (joiner) or a change to department or manager (mover), or inactivation (leaver).

2. Set the condition

Specify the attribute condition that identifies the event, using an identity filter or a rule for complex logic.

3. Choose the workflow

Point the event at the workflow that should run, typically an LCM provisioning workflow that grants or revokes access.

4. Test with refresh

Trigger the event by changing test data and running identity refresh, then confirm the workflow provisioned correctly.
