Certification – Governance Groups – Owner as Reviewer

Good morning, everyone!

We are starting the certification process for the members of the governance groups. Ideally, the reviewer for each certification would be the owner of the respective group.

In the native IdentityNow source, we are able to use governance groups as entitlements and initiate the certification accordingly. However, when configuring the certification request form, we haven’t found a way to automatically assign the group owner as the reviewer.

Has anyone encountered this limitation before? Has any automation been developed to address this scenario? Or do you have any alternative suggestions?

Thank you in advance for your support!

I do not know of an automated way of doing this, and would love to hear if anyone has had success doing it.

We performed one campaign like what you described, but it was a lot of manual work. We created a certification campaign that contained all the entitlements, and we had it assigned to one member of our team. Then that person went into the campaign and manually reassigned each entitlement item to the appropriate owner. This worked fine for a small set of entitlements, but would be a pain if you have a lot of entitlements.

We do not have anywhere to select Entitlement owner as the certifier.

We can achieve your requirement using APIs.

  1. Get Governance Group API, you can get owner
  2. Create Certification campaign using API, pass the owner

From UI,

Consolidate the Governance groups, grouped by owner.

Create Access Review for each owner Governance Groups, select the reviewer as the individual and select that owner there.
