Actions on Apply/Remove Policies

You can define change actions that CA IdentityMinder performs when it evaluates the identity policy. The actions include:

Actions on Apply Policy

A set of actions that CA IdentityMinder performs when a user meets the conditions in the policy conditions.

Actions on Remove Policy

A set of actions that CA IdentityMinder performs when a user no longer meets the conditions in the policy conditions.

The actions that CA IdentityMinder can perform when identity policies are applied or removed are the same. See the following table for more information.

Accept

(Action on Apply Policies only)

When you select this action, you provide a message that CA IdentityMinder writes in the audit database and displays in View Submitted Tasks when a violation occurs.

(Action on Apply Policies only)

Prevents a task from submitting when an identity policy violation occurs.

This action is used with preventative identity policies to prevent users from receiving privileges that may result in a conflict of interest or fraud.

CA IdentityMinder allows the task to submit regardless of whether workflow is configured.

Note: For information about associating a workflow process with a preventative identity policy, see Workflow and Preventative Identity Policies.
