Points to be considered:

  • Auto provision actions do not have Approvals.
  • Responsibilities can be restored only to the previous state.
  • When the criteria are based on the user’s role, the role must be assigned to that person before user runs the auto provisioning responsibilities.
  • When user modifies value in the Basic Info, Responsibility Score or Assign by Criteria sections and submit the transaction. All previously auto provisioned data which are pending to be committed and data stored for restoring will be deleted.
  • When user create a new template, user cannot use the Restore Auto provisioned Responsibilities page since there is no previous data of auto provisioned responsibilities.

Benefits:

  • Increases Productivity
  • Less Time Consuming.
  • Reduces operation Costs.
