Application on-boarding refers to the process of adding an application to Irancell IAM so that the application can participate in one or more of the following operations:
- Joiner, mover, and leaver (JML) processes
- Request/approval workflows
- Audit and compliance activities
It may not be possible to integrate the full universe of applications. As such, applications can be segregated into the following types:
- Automated applications – Applications integrated using connectors.
- Manual applications – Applications that cannot be integrated using connectors. In this case, CSV files are usually used for importing the required data.
- Applications of little significance – Applications with no audit impact. The business may decide not to integrate these.
Application on-boarding should be performed after defining business requirements and objectives in sufficient detail for the implementation team. Failure to do so can result in project overruns and failure.
Automated Applications
Automated applications integrate with the target application using connectors.
A connector enables direct communication with the application to allow near real-time updates to identity information resulting from the JML processes.
Key Benefits:
- Automation of provisioning and deprovisioning.
- Audit logs from operations improve security and compliance.
Manual Applications
Unlike automated applications (with near real-time integration), manual applications require importing exported data from the application.
Primary Benefits:
- Provides a complete view of a user's access across applications.
- Supports governance activities (e.g., access certifications).
- Supports request/approval workflows.
