Is this a function of QuickLink Populations?
They control which capabilities are granted to an identity.
No. QuickLink Populations do not control which capabilities are granted to an identity. In SailPoint IdentityIQ, capabilities are administrative permission sets assigned to identities to determine what system-level functions they can perform, such as administration, certification management, report access, or other privileged IdentityIQ operations. Capabilities are part of the identity's authorization model and are managed separately from QuickLink Population configuration.
QuickLink Populations serve a different purpose. They determine which QuickLinks are visible and usable for a defined population of users, and they can also influence request behavior such as who may perform a request, what actions are available, and for whom the request may be submitted. For example, a QuickLink Population may allow certain users to request access for themselves, request access for others, edit identities, or initiate password-related actions, depending on configuration.
Therefore, QuickLink Populations control access to request actions and QuickLink availability, not the granting of IdentityIQ capabilities themselves.
