Workflow question
The answer is probably obvious but I want to find out for sure -I have successfully tested in the past Approval/AuthZ workflows forcreation and deletion of person objects in FIM. I want to know whether approval/AuthZ workflow may be also created such that it is triggered when certain attributesassociated with the person objectis updatedupdated or deleted?Thanks.Anu

Hi Anu! Workflows are triggered when you configure MPR's for triggering them and all kinds of workflows are executed as long as there's workflows specified in you MPR. I see no reason why you should wish to create/delete users or other resources not a part of the AuthZ process during authorization worklows because it simply creates a new request for whatever you want to do, I rather see Authorization as the place for validation - the last place where you could cancel a request if it turns out not being suitable for CRUD. Maybe there are times when you need to create requests for creating or deleting users or other resources that is not a part of the AuthZ process before CRUD but I can't come up with a scenario for this and are open for input otherwise I recommend using action workflows for that kind of operations... The Introduction to Request Management is a great document that should be read by anyone working with workflows or web services in FIM. ///Henrik Henrik Nilsson Blog: http://www.idmcrisis.com Company: Cortego (http://www.cortego.se)
