I am trying to find a way to automate our auditing process. Currently everything is pulled manually such as Certifications. I currently have a user in SailPoint with the capability of ‘WebServices Executor’. is there a way to pull certifications down using this user and capability?

I would say check option of Loopback connector . You can onboard IIQ as application itself with workgroup and capability as entitlements .
Now these entitlements can be reviewed based on your requirement .

I don’t see any endpoints for Certification in IIQ API though.

Not sure about the reason but they are little heavy.

IMHO the best way to fulfil your requirement is to build a WorkFlow and have the WorkFlow return the certification data you want.

There is also an option to schedule a report and have the workflow return the report results.

The above requires some development and might require some additional help. But this community is for developers, so … :slight_smile:

What we normally do at customers it to create/configure reports based upon the requirements of the client/auditors and send them via email to the (internal) auditors.

So basically you are looking for data that need to be pulled for Access Review Audit ? I don’t think any great API is available for that but you can write your own API using plugin framework and can be used to get the required data .

In my environment we generally use custom report and given that as self service to the Auditors and GRC team .

That is correct, just seeing if there is a way to automate the pulling of certifications to provide to the auditors.
We are working internally on some options and wanted to see if there has been any similar scenarios to this.

Building off this idea, do you have exampled or can point me in a direction where something similar has been done?

You can start watching the Developer Day presentation from @adam_creaney from last year, where Adam is showing how to start a WorkFlow using Postman:

Launching a workflow starts at 21:00 in the presentation.

The workflow to launch could return the certification object.
