Policy Xpress Examples

• Set a user's full name

  Run At Events—when the user is created or modified

  Data Elements—get the values of the first name and last name

  Entry Rules—if the first name or last name has changed based on the data gathered. It prevents the policy from running otherwise.

  Action Rules—set the full name to be the value of the first name, space, and the value of the last name.

• Assign different provisioning roles for employees versus contractors

  Run At Events—at create user and modify user

  Data Elements—get the value of the user's type

  Entry Rules—none (action rules are always evaluated)

  Action Rules—1) checks if the user type is an employee 2) checks if the user type is not an employee. Only one of the action rules can be met, and assigns the appropriate provisioning role.

• Set the user's groups and OU in Active Directory, based on department

  Run At Events— at the end of the assign provisioning role event. This ensures that an account is already created when setting the values.

  Data Elements—get the user's department, and also the endpoint type and Active Directory domain to make things easier to manage later on

  Entry Rules—if the department is not empty

  Action Rules—multiple rules for each possible department. Each rule checks if department equals Sales or any other value. There is a default rule in case the department does not meet any requirements. Different actions are configured for each rule, assigning different values. This ensures that a user in a specific department gets the Active Directory groups and OU they need, while a user in a different department gets others, as appropriate.

• Write all new users to a table. The table contains some of the user's HR data.

  Run At Events—on create user, but only after the user has been created (after the create user event has completed)

  Data Elements—gets the required HR information, such as user name, country, department, and any other values

  Entry Rules—none (action rules are always evaluated)

  Action Rules—execute an SQL query which accepts the values gathered as parameters. The result of activating the query is having a new record in the database for the new user.
