Bravura Workforce Pattern

About Bravura Workforce Pattern

Bravura Workforce Pattern is a rapid deployment feature that can reduce implementation time by up to 75% by automating typical identity life cycle management requirements. Bravura Workforce Pattern reduces scripting for complex business logic such as SoR (system of record) onboarding. Initial and ongoing configuration of Identity Management is greatly minimized to lower costs and deployment time.

Example onboarding scenarios available include:

  • SoR-driven onboarding

  • Request-driven onboarding

  • Detecting and blocking rehires

  • Return from leave of absence

Example offboarding scenarios available include:

  • Scheduled deactivation

  • Immediate user deactivation

  • Leave of absence – effective

Example maintenance scenarios available include:

  • Profile updating

    • Password initialization and profile completion

    • Update contact information

    • Enroll security questions

    • Approvals workflow

    • Transfer department, location or manager

    • Request entitlements using model user

    • Leave of absence

    • Name change

    • Assign entitlements based on role

    • Resolve Access Denied errors

    • Invite users to read/accept new policy documents

    • Re-certify users, relationships and entitlements

  • Passwords

    • Password expiry early warning

    • Transparent password synchronization

    • Self-service password reset

Advantages of Bravura Pattern

Replacing legacy IAM processes with Bravura Pattern has the following advantages over custom IAM implementations:

  • Optimized IAM processes: The business processes codified in Bravura Pattern have been optimized for fast service and robust internal controls, improving on the legacy processes in most organizations.

  • Complete functionality: When implementing a custom IAM system, organizations can only automate one or two processes at a time. Most start with onboarding, deactivation or access reviews and only later automate transfers, leaves of absence, name changes, rehire detection, etc. In contrast, Bravura Pattern allows organizations to automate a comprehensive set of identity lifecycle processes up front.

  • Efficient implementation: By adopting a pre-configured set of processes and policies, organizations minimize deployment risk, reduce implementation cost and shorten time to value.

Bravura Workforce Pattern feature components

The Bravura Workforce Pattern is implemented through the installation of the Refbuild.im_corporate component. This reference implementation installs and configures the components used to implement common corporate user management scenarios. The Refbuild.im_corporate component is divided into two main components: Refbuild.im_corporate_functional, which includes functional components; and Refbuild.im_corporate_scenario, which includes scenario components.

Bravura Workforce Pattern user classes

Additional user classes are added when Bravura Workforce Pattern is installed:

  • CATCHALL-AUTH Members of this user class will be added to a request if there are insufficient authorizers.

  • CONTRACT-HIRE-APPROVAL Contract hire authorizers

  • HR HR group

  • IDTRACK Contains user names acting as requesters for automatic request submission. This class is mainly used to detect automatically submitted requests and apply distinct authorization requirements.

  • LOA-AUTHORIZERS Leave of absence authorizers

  • LOA-SCHEDULER Leave of absence scheduler

  • MOBILEUSERS Users with Mobile settings

  • NOTONLEAVE Users who are not on leave

  • PIIUSERS Users with personal information for authentication

  • REHIRE-ALLOWED Users who can be rehired

  • SCHEDULE-TERM-ALLOWED This relational user class determines whether scheduled termination can be performed

  • TEMP-RES-REQUESTERS Requesters for temporary entitlements

  • TEMP-RESOURCE-AUTO-APPROVAL Users who have automatic approval for temporary entitlements

  • TERMINATED Terminated users

  • URGENT-TERM-ALLOWED Users who can be urgently terminated
