Lifecycle Manager workflows
Quick answer
The LCM workflows behind access requests and joiner/mover/leaver in SailPoint IdentityIQ, and how to configure them.
Key takeaways
- LCM ships approval + provisioning + notification workflows
- LCM Provisioning compiles the plan and enforces policy
- Joiner/mover/leaver events auto-launch workflows
- Extend via subprocesses and rules to keep upgrades clean
What LCM provides
Lifecycle Manager ships pre-built workflows for access requests, manage-accounts, and identity lifecycle events. They handle approval, provisioning and notification out of the box.
LCM Provisioning workflow
The core LCM Provisioning workflow compiles a provisioning plan, gathers approvals, checks policies, and hands the plan to the provisioning engine and connectors.
Lifecycle events
Joiner, mover and leaver events are triggered by identity attribute changes and launch configured workflows to grant or revoke access automatically.
Customising LCM
You extend LCM by editing the shipped workflows or, better, by adding subprocesses and rules so upgrades stay clean.
