Member Lists

A member list is a data set that contains user names and attributes. Use a member list to assign reviewers in a certification.

Each record in a member list contains the following fields:

Login

Defines a user account in the product. This field has the same content and format as the LoginID field of a user or configuration file.

Category

Defines a user, role, or resource attribute. This field can have a different value for each record in the member list. To match entities in the certification, specify attributes that exist in the configuration file on which the certification is based.

Value

Defines the value of the attribute listed in the Category field.

To assign a reviewer for an entity, the product scans the member list, comparing attribute values in the member list to the attribute values of the entity. The product assigns review tasks for the entity to the user specified by the first record in the member list that matches an attribute value of the entity.

Note: A member list can only contain attributes for one entity type—user, role, or resource. However, one member list can contain attributes and values from several universes. Only the LoginID field must be uniformly defined in all universes that are used with the member list.

You can import member list files into the product or use administrative screens of the portal to create and edit member lists.

Example: Match Reviewers to Resource Attributes

The following member list associates users with various resource attribute values:

This member list is used to assign reviewers in a resource certification. The following resources are under review:

• The Domain_Users resource with the following attribute values:

  ResName3 = Solaris

  Location = Atlanta

  CA GovernanceMinder uses the first matching record in the list, and assigns Hector Torres to review links for this resource.

• The Purchasing resource with the following attribute values:

  Organization = Headquarters

  No records in the member list match this entity. The product cannot assign a reviewer based on the member list.
