Find and Notify the Participants

When a workflow activity associated with a CA Identity Manager approval task begins, the workflow server passes information about activity participants to CA Identity Manager. This information is defined in the activity properties. CA Identity Manager uses this information to retrieve activity participants and alert them that an approval task is pending.

After identifying the participants, CA Identity Manager adds a new work item (the approval task) to each participant’s work list. Optionally, CA Identity Manager also sends an email notification about the new work item to each participant.

Note: If the APPROVERS_REQUIRED activity property is set to false and no participants are found, the task is considered approved by default.

Note: A circle in the Status column indicates that the approval task is available for any participant to claim. A check mark indicates that the work list owner has accepted the approval task but has not yet completed it.
