Before/After provisioning rule

Quick answer

Before and after provisioning rules that adjust the plan or react to results around a connector operation in IdentityIQ.

Key takeaways

  • Before rule modifies the plan pre-connector
  • After rule reacts to the provisioning result
  • Can be global on the application or per operation
  • Test carefully: they affect every request through the app

Before provisioning

A before provisioning rule runs just before the connector executes, letting you inspect and modify the provisioning plan, for example adding attributes or transforming values the target expects.

After provisioning

An after provisioning rule runs once the operation completes, letting you react to the result, trigger follow-up actions, or clean up.

Scope

These rules can be set globally on an application or targeted to specific operations, giving precise control over the provisioning path.

Cautions

Keep them focused and fast; plan changes here affect every request through that application, so test carefully.
