When to Use

Trigger phrases:

• "performing entitlement review with sailpoint iiq"

• "Performs entitlement review and access certification campaigns using SailPoint I"

• Quarterly or annual access certification campaigns are required for compliance (SOX, HIPAA, PCI-DSS)

• Organization needs automated manager-based access reviews for all direct reports

• Targeted entitlement reviews are needed for sensitive applications or high-privilege roles

• Separation of Duties (SOD) violations must be identified and remediated

• Orphaned accounts and excessive entitlements need to be discovered and cleaned up

• Audit findings require evidence of periodic access review and remediation tracking

When NOT to Use

• When you lack proper authorization for testing
• For production systems without change management
• When the task requires legal or compliance expertise beyond technical scope

Prerequisites

• SailPoint IdentityIQ 8.2+ deployed with database backend (Oracle, MySQL, or SQL Server)
• Application connectors configured for all in-scope systems (Active Directory, LDAP, databases, SaaS applications)
• Identity cubes aggregated with current entitlement data from all connected sources
• Email server configured for certification notifications
• Manager hierarchy defined in the identity model
• Business roles and entitlement glossary populated for reviewer context
