Hello everyone, I’m trying to configure an application where entitlements overlap across multiple Access Profiles and I’m running into an unwanted behavior in IdentityNow. Context I have multiple Access Profiles configured, for example: AP1: E1, E2, E3 AP2: E1, E2 Issue When a user is a…

@davidtrn Hello, Have you tried using requestable roles instead of APs? Role1: E1,E2,E3 Role2: E1,E2 That would seem like a potential workaround for this.

I would always say it’s best to model APs on the function being enabled in the application and keep the “business” modelling as roles. So, in your case AP1 has Ent1 and Ent2, AP2 has Ent3. Role1 has AP1 and AP2, Role2 has AP1.

Thanks all for your inputs. We wanted to use Access Profiles because : The UX is better as they can be added to “Applications” It’s easier to manage certification (through API/workflow) as we can just filter on the source.id But seems like going with the Roles is the only solution.
