Sponsored Accounts
The RapidIdentity People Module Sponsored Accounts interface is a system an organization's Sponsors can use to manage special user account life cycles.
A special user account is an account that must be managed outside of an authoritative system (e.g. HRMS).
Common Sponsored accounts can include contractors, interns, visitors, and volunteers.
Sponsors have five management privileges that show up in the Action bar once a sponsored account is selected.
Edit accounts
Transfer accounts to another Sponsor
Expire accounts
Certify accounts (extend the expiration)
Delete accounts
If a user is a Sponsor's manager, the user can perform Sponsor account actions for any of their sponsored accounts.
Administrators can designate a group of users as Sponsorship Module Administrators also.
Groups provide a mechanism to manage all sponsored accounts. The advantage of this feature is to help other Sponsors manage accounts; the benefit is a workflow burden reduction in other organization departments, such as Customer Service.
Once sponsored accounts are set up, an administrator will still need to create an additional Delegation for managing certain aspects of sponsored accounts. For example, the Sponsored Account delegation does not provide an action to reset a sponsored user's password. You will need to create a delegation that displays sponsored accounts in order to provide that level of functionality.
