This is awesome and something some of our user groups had been asking for. I will just give another plug that I think SailPoint needs to re-evaluate what is considered “elevated” access and requires user’s to register an MFA device (even for users who only login via SSO). Currently anything that gives any access to the “admin” menu triggers that. In my opinion, read only access to things like entitlements, governance groups, etc. that are granted by Custom User Levels should not flag as elevated access and require users to register a throaway TOTP MFA device.

Much awaited and definitely a much-needed enhancement. It would be great if this capability could also be extended to Applications in the future for more granular governance and delegation use cases.

This is definitely a nice to have!

That’s great news — this has been a long-awaited feature! :blush:

That’s a really great enhancement for Governance Group administration much awaited!

Great news !! Much awaited One !

Great news.

Is there anything that needs to be done to see this in Custom User Level as it is not showing up in Sandbox Environment?

Same. Just opened a support ticket so we’ll see what they say there as well.

Thank you for opening a ticket @danielbock, I don’t see it in sandbox either. I see a Filter option for Governance Groups, but that’s all.

@JKistler do you know if there are plans to extend these Custom User Levels to provide a read-only view of sources and source configurations? This is one of the biggest elements standing in the way of creating a true read-only admin

Thank you all for posting about not seeing in Sandbox. I will work with the team to determine what the issue is.

Regarding Sources, we’re continuing to discuss with teams to enhance Custom User Levels and I will provide updates as we add additional functionality

Looks like the issue has been resolved and these new Custom User Levels should now be appearing in your Sandbox environments. I apologize for the delay.

This is really helpful.

They are visible now.

What about Production? It’s still not there in production.
