Provisioning

Add a condition to check for dependencies in other business rules
I'd like the ability to create a condition in Business Rules that allows a rule to be applied only when another Business Rule has already been applied to the same person. For example, some HR systems contain external users or interns who do not always require an account. In these cases, I can create a Business Rule for account provisioning that excludes external users. I can then create a separate Business Rule for exceptions, allowing specific external users who do require an account to be added manually. The challenge arises when I create a rule such as "Enable Accounts". This rule attempts to run for all users, including those who will never receive an account. As a result, many users appear in Actions with a status of "Waiting". To avoid this, I would need to create separate Business Rules for enabling accounts, assigning default rights, granting additional entitlements, and so on. This quickly increases the number of rules that need to be maintained. It also increases administrative complexity because any changes must be replicated across multiple Business Rules. By allowing a Business Rule to check whether a user has already been included in, or granted access through, another Business Rule, administrators could significantly reduce the number of required rules and the associated maintenance effort. This would simplify rule management, reduce administrative overhead, and prevent unnecessary pending actions for users who are not intended to receive accounts.

Allow immediate snapshot retry after Permission Entitlement import warnings
When creating a snapshot of a target system, a Permission Entitlement import can complete with warnings. In that situation, reconciliation cannot be used successfully while the snapshot contains warnings. The warnings therefore need to be resolved and a new successful snapshot must be created before reconciliation can be properly tested or used. At the moment, however, a new snapshot cannot be started immediately. Administrators have to wait approximately one hour before another snapshot can be created. Why this is a problem During development and implementation, warnings are often caused by configuration changes, mapping issues, or data that still needs to be adjusted. After resolving the warning, it should be possible to immediately create a new snapshot and verify the fix. Instead, the one-hour cooldown interrupts the development and implementation process. This is especially problematic because the target system cannot simply be left with warnings when reconciliation is required. Multiple test iterations may be needed before the complete configuration works correctly, and every additional warning can introduce another one-hour delay. Suggested improvement Allow administrators to manually start a new snapshot immediately after a Permission Entitlement import completes with warnings. This would: Allow reconciliation to be tested again immediately after resolving warnings. Reduce unnecessary waiting time during development and implementation. Speed up troubleshooting and validation. Prevent repeated one-hour delays when multiple configuration adjustments are required. In short: if a Permission Entitlement import completes with warnings and reconciliation therefore cannot be used, administrators should be able to immediately create a new snapshot after fixing the warning.
