work flow for composite roles

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

we are currently working on configuring MSMP workflows for access request creation.

The requirement is, whenever a composite role is selected in access request form for assignment, all the single role owners under the respective composite role should be notified for approval.

Is there anyway we can achieve this.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Challenging requirement...

I think the easiest way that comes to my mind would be to maintain Composite Role-  Assignment Approvers with all Single Role approvers (lots of manual work / even through mass operations), then change workflow stage setting for Role Approver to All Approvers.

That would fulfill your requirement (all of the role owners would have to approve), but as mentioned before it would require lots of manual maintenance for approvers, maybe others will come with the way to automate it without heavy customization...

Best regards, Andrzej

Hi Andrzej,

Thanks for your valuable inputs, requirement is satisfied.

But, all the role owners are getting approval notification for the composite role, not for the single roles under it.

Is there anyway we can set this like, all the single role owners are notified for approval, for the assignment of respective composite role.

Thank you,

Hi Sai

I agree, challenging requirement.

I wonder why they are using composite roles if in the first place the approvals are based on the single roles. Try using role mapping. You will have to remap all the single role to the composite role but I think it will allow you to fulfill your requirement.

Thanks
