Assignment Dates

Entitlements can be assigned to users manually or automatically, but not on any time period. See the Entitlement Assignment topic for additional information.

For Manual Assignments​

During the manual assignment of an entitlement, i.e. role or resource type, to a user, the start and end dates of the entitlement must follow simple rules:

  • the start date cannot be earlier than the earliest start date in all records of the user;
  • the end date cannot be later than the latest end date in all records of the user.

This means that requesting an entitlement without any start/end dates will actually assign the entitlement from the records' earliest start date to the latest end date.

An entitlement cannot be requested with a start date earlier than today's date. But when requesting a role with an end date later than the records' latest end date, then the role will be assigned with its end date equal to the records' latest end date.

For Automatic Assignments​

The start and end dates of any automatic assignment are based on the dates from the Context Rule defined for the identities.
