What are Business Rules?

Business Rules are the criteria a transaction has to meet to be applied to specified groups, OUs, unique configurations, or even have the transaction excluded or auto-approved.

Business rules are also split up amongst ‘New’, ‘Change’, ‘Rename’ and ‘Expiration’ transactions as well as the different standard technologies: Active Directory (User Management), Group Management (Active Directory Group Management), File Systems, Email and Azure

Examples (the possibilities are much bigger, this is just for illustration);

• Active Directory
  • Exclude an AD account from being created or updated.
  • Create an AD account in a specific OU based on Department or Job Title.
  • Apply different attribute updates, passwords, or display name based on criteria specified, e.g. Data Source
• Groups
  • Apply different groups based on Department of Job Role
  • Switch groups based on Department or Job Role
• File Systems
  • Create a home folder in different storage locations based on the users surname
• Email
  • Exclude an email address from being created if the domain name of an existing email address it that of the trusts
  • Create a email on different exchange servers or different mailstores depending on surname
• Azure
  • Apply licences to different users based on criteria such as Department or Job Title
