No. This definition describes a rule more closely than an Identity Cube. In SailPoint IdentityIQ, an Identity Cube is the centralized identity model that represents a person or non-person identity inside IdentityIQ. It contains consolidated identity information such as identity attributes, correlated application accounts, assigned and detected roles, entitlements, manager relationship, lifecycle state, policy violations, certifications, and other governance-relevant data.

A “snippet of code containing custom business logic” refers to a BeanShell rule. Rules are executable logic used to customize IdentityIQ behavior in areas such as aggregation, correlation, provisioning, policy evaluation, workflow processing, and identity attribute transformation. They are configuration objects containing code, while Identity Cubes are data/model objects representing identities and their access.

Therefore, the statement is inaccurate because an Identity Cube is not custom code. It is the core identity record used by IdentityIQ for governance, access modeling, policy detection, requests, certifications, and provisioning decisions.

No. Marking an attribute as multi-valued does not, by itself, cause IdentityIQ to treat that attribute as an entitlement or include its values in the Entitlement Catalog. In an application schema, the multi-valued setting only indicates that the account attribute can contain more than one value. It describes data structure, not governance meaning.

To include access values in the Entitlement Catalog, the relevant schema attribute must be configured as an entitlement-bearing attribute, or group objects must be properly configured and aggregated through the application’s group schema where applicable. IdentityIQ then recognizes those values as governable access rights and can represent them as managed attributes in the Entitlement Catalog. Once cataloged, they can be reviewed, certified, requested, described, owned, risk-scored, and governed by policy.

For example, an account attribute such as “groups” may be multi-valued, but IdentityIQ must also know that those values represent access rights. Without entitlement configuration, the aggregation stores attribute values on the account but does not properly model them as catalog entitlements.

The statement is false. The Identity Refresh task does not execute aggregation rules configured on an application definition. Aggregation rules are part of the application aggregation process, where IdentityIQ connects to a source system, reads account or group data, applies connector and application-level processing, and stores account links, entitlement values, and related data in the IdentityIQ repository.

The Identity Refresh task operates after data is already present in IdentityIQ. Its function is to update IdentityCubes and recalculate identity-level governance information. Depending on selected options, Identity Refresh may update identity attributes, refresh role assignments, detect assigned or detected roles, evaluate policies, process lifecycle events, refresh manager relationships, or recalculate risk and access-related identity state.

Application aggregation and identity refresh are separate task functions. Aggregation obtains and normalizes data from applications; Identity Refresh interprets and recalculates identity governance state using that aggregated data. Therefore, rules tied specifically to aggregation on the application definition are execute during aggregation, not during Identity Refresh.

Yes. In SailPoint IdentityIQ, the Active period is the main review window of a certification campaign. During this period, assigned certifiers review the certification items and make access decisions such as approve, revoke, delegate, allow exception, or otherwise act according to the certification configuration. This is the required operational phase in which reviewers complete their access review responsibilities before the certification moves into later lifecycle stages.

The Active period is distinct from other certification timing or processing stages. For example, generation prepares the certification contents, while challenge and remediation periods may occur after reviewer decisions depending on campaign configuration. The Active period specifically represents the time when certification decisions are expected to be made by the responsible reviewers.

Therefore, the definition is accurate because it correctly identifies the Active period as the required review period for certification decision-making. Reference topics: Governance, access reviews, certification lifecycle, Active period, certification decisions, certifier work items, challenge period, remediation, and certification sign-off.

The statement is true. In SailPoint IdentityIQ, account attributes are defined on the application’s account schema. The application definition tells IdentityIQ how to represent accounts from a connected source, and the account schema specifies which attributes exist on those accounts. Examples may include account ID, display name, email, status, department, groups, roles, permissions, or other source-specific fields returned by the connector during aggregation.

This is distinct from identity attributes, which are stored on the IdentityCube and represent normalized identity-level data used across IdentityIQ. Account attributes belong to application account links, while identity attributes belong to the identity model. During aggregation, IdentityIQ reads account data according to the application schema and stores the discovered values as account/link attributes. Some account schema attributes may also be marked as managed when their values represent entitlement-like access that should be governed through the Entitlement Catalog.

Therefore, account attributes are correctly defined in the application account schema.

The statement is false. The Identity Refresh task is used to update and recalculate identity-related data in IdentityIQ, not to manage open work item reminders. Its purpose is to refresh IdentityCubes after aggregation or identity data changes. Depending on selected task options, Identity Refresh can recalculate identity attributes, apply correlation-related updates, refresh role assignments and detections, evaluate policies, process lifecycle events, update risk-related data, and ensure that the identity model reflects the current state of authoritative and application data.

Open work items belong to IdentityIQ’s workflow and governance execution layer. Reminders, escalations, expirations, and related work item follow-up behavior are handled through work item configuration, workflow behavior, certification configuration, and maintenance-style processing rather than the Identity Refresh task. Although Identity Refresh may trigger downstream actions such as lifecycle events or policy evaluation, it is not the task responsible for notifying users about pending approvals or review items.

Therefore, sending reminders for open work items is outside the purpose of Identity Refresh. Reference topics: Identity Modeling — common Identity Refresh options; Foundational Concepts — tasks versus workflows; Governance — work items, certifications, reminders, and escalation behavior.

Yes. In SailPoint IdentityIQ, the Identity Warehouse is used to review identity-centric information stored in the IdentityCube. For identities that are managers, IdentityIQ can display the list of identities that report to that manager. This information is derived from the manager relationship established during identity aggregation, correlation, and identity refresh processing.

The direct-report relationship is not an application account attribute by itself once modeled in IdentityIQ; it becomes part of the identity model. IdentityIQ uses manager correlation to associate each identity with its manager, and when those relationships are resolved, the manager identity can show its subordinate identities as direct reports. This is important for governance because managers are frequently used as certifiers, approvers, and reviewers in access review and request workflows.

The display of direct reports depends on the identity data being populated correctly and the viewer having permission to access the identity details. However, as a functional capability of the Identity Warehouse, direct reports for manager identities are part of the identity information that can be displayed.

Recording which data a user downloads is not a core purpose of Identity Governance and Administration in SailPoint IdentityIQ. IGA is concerned with governing identities, accounts, access, entitlements, roles, policy violations, certifications, access requests, and provisioning. Its central objective is to answer questions such as who a user is, what access they have, whether that access is appropriate, who approved it, and whether access complies with defined business and security policies.

Tracking the specific files, records, or data objects downloaded by a user is typically associated with data activity monitoring, data loss prevention, security information and event management, or user behavior analytics. IdentityIQ may integrate with other systems and can govern access to applications or repositories that contain sensitive data, but it does not primarily function as a tool for recording every data download event.

In IdentityIQ terms, the governance focus is identity security: access visibility, access certification, policy enforcement, role modeling, lifecycle management, and provisioning controls. Reference topics: Foundational Concepts, purpose of identity security, common IdentityIQ terms, governance model, certifications, policies, and provisioning.

Marking an account schema attribute as managed does not mean the attribute can be edited in IdentityIQ. In IdentityIQ application schema configuration, a managed attribute is one whose values are promoted into IdentityIQ as governable access objects, commonly represented in the entitlement catalog. This allows IdentityIQ to attach governance metadata to the discovered values, such as display name, description, owner, requestability, classification, and review-related context.

Editability is controlled through different mechanisms, including provisioning policies, forms, workflows, connector capabilities, and provisioning plan operations. An attribute may be managed for governance purposes without being directly editable by a user in IdentityIQ. Conversely, an attribute may be populated during provisioning if the application connector and provisioning policy support it, but that is separate from the schema’s managed designation.

The managed setting is therefore about governance, cataloging, and access modeling, not direct modification. It enables IdentityIQ to treat values of that schema attribute as objects that can be reviewed, requested, certified, described, and owned.

Yes. Rapid Setup in SailPoint IdentityIQ is designed to accelerate application onboarding by creating and configuring the application definitions required for IdentityIQ to manage data from connected systems. An application definition is the IdentityIQ object that represents an external source or target system and stores the connector selection, connectivity settings, schema information, aggregation behavior, correlation configuration, and related governance options.

Rapid Setup reduces the amount of manual configuration normally required when defining applications. Instead of building every application definition entirely through the standard detailed configuration screens, Rapid Setup guides the administrator through a simplified setup path and creates the required IdentityIQ application objects from that configuration. Those application definitions can then be used for aggregation, correlation, entitlement discovery, access modeling, and downstream governance processes.

This does not mean Rapid Setup eliminates the need for validation. Administrators must still verify schemas, correlation rules, entitlement treatment, and provisioning behavior. However, the statement is accurate because creating application definitions is a core function of Rapid Setup.
