Self-Attestation Campaigns

A self-attestation campaign is a user certification campaign in which each user under review certifies their own privileges.

This type of campaign satisfies some legal requirements for data security certification. This type of campaign is also useful during construction of the role hierarchy, and as a starting point for subsequent certification by managers.

Typically, the active configuration is not changed based on self-certification. When you plan your campaign, consider how you want to use the campaign results. If you want to create a configuration file that reflects user changes, create a separate file in which you can implement changes.

To implement a self-attestation campaign, select the Self-Attestation option in the Campaign type field of the campaign creation wizard. The wizard presents options relevant to this type of campaign:

• Because each user is their own reviewer, you cannot assign reviewers based on a member list or RACI configuration. These options are not available in the Reviewers screen of the wizard. However, you can specify a default reviewer for the campaign.
• By default, approval and implementation tasks are aggregated into a second, later phase of the campaign, which you must launch manually from the top-level ticket of the campaign. The Initiate Approvals field of the Execution screen reflects this default setting.

Depending on your business goals, you can export information from the finished campaign as an Audit Card for further processing, or implement changes from the campaign on the target configuration. You can also use the campaign as the basis for a recertification or differential campaign.
