Question #: 23
Topic #: 1

An IdentityNow engineer has set up an access profile for an application. The access profile allows for users to request access, and for a user's manager to approve or deny access.

After a recent staff meeting, management has expressed that they want to remove any approval requirements for this application.

Is management's request possible in IdentityNow. and. if so. are these the recommended steps the engineer should take to meet their new requirement?

Solution: It is possible. Edit the access profile, and uncheck the box marked 'Required Approval'.

AYes

BNo

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Yes, it is possible to remove the approval requirement for an application in IdentityNow by editing the access profile and unchecking the 'Required Approval' box. This configuration change would eliminate the need for a manager or other approver to review access requests, allowing users to be granted access without requiring approval.

Key Reference from SailPoint Documentation:

Access Profile Configuration: Access profiles can be configured to require or not require approval for access requests, and this option can be modified directly in the profile settings.

Wait, are we sure that's the recommended approach? Shouldn't we double-check the documentation first?

I feel like this is similar to a scenario we discussed in class, but I can't recall if there were any additional steps needed after unchecking that box.

I’m a bit confused. What if there are compliance issues with removing approvals? Would that affect the decision?

I remember a practice question where we had to edit access profiles, so I believe unchecking 'Required Approval' should work.

I'm not totally sure about this one. Removing an approval process could have some other implications, right? I want to make sure I understand all the steps.
