Standard Workpoint processes for certifications declare process-level parameters for RACI query options. When CA GovernanceMinder initiates a Workpoint job, it populates these parameters based on user settings from the certification creation wizard or from defaults. All nodes in the process can use these parameters to reference the specified Accountable Type. These parameters can have the following Accountable Type values:

Self: Assigns the review action to the user under review. This option is only used to assign a reviewer based on a user entity.
Accountable: Assigns the review action to the user in the RACI configurations who is Accountable for the entity under review.
AccountableManager: Assigns the review action to the manager of the user in the RACI configurations who is Accountable for the entity under review.

One Accountable Type setting is specified for initial certification. Two Accountable types are specified for change approvals, one for each entity in the link under review.

The following process-level parameters receive RACI query option settings from CA GovernanceMinder:

flow.certificationApproval.accountableType: Defines the accountable type for initial certification.
flow.userApproval.accountableTypeUser: Defines the accountable type for approval of changes to a user in a certification.
flow.roleApproval.accountableType: Defines the accountable type for approval of changes to a role in a certification.
flow.resourceApproval.accountableType: Defines the accountable type for approval of changes to a resource in a certification.

You can use any of these parameters to specify an accountable type for any certification or change approval action. However, the Self accountable type can only be used to assign a reviewer for a user entity.
