Permissions management

Description

The permissions management process type is used to define processes used to create, update and remove permissions and account to identities.

You can use the default template included on Soffid BPM Editor and customize it with your business needs. Also, you can import a .pardef file with the process definition.

That process is defined by default with 4 steps, but you can add new, delete and update steps to customize your business process. 

We will use two concepts to explain that process, identity, and end-user. Identity will be the identity or user that will be created, updated, or deleted in Soffid Console. The end-user will be the Soffid user who requests processes using the self-service portal.

Attributes

You could add new custom attributes in the Attributes tab. The defined attributes will be used in the Steps tab to be mapped with the Soffid data.

There are customized templates depending on the Process Type selected, for the Process management type there is one attribute defined:

You can customize attributes to adapt the workflow to your business process. You can add new attributes, and update or delete the default attributes. For each new attribute, you need to indicate, at least, the code, the label, and the data type.
