An entitlement granted to an account on a target system enables the account owner (user) to perform a specific task or function. An entitlement can be a role, responsibility, or group membership. For example, if user Richard is granted the Inventory Analyst role on a target system, then Richard can use that entitlement to access and generate inventory-related reports from the target system.
In Oracle Identity Manager, there is one process form for each account (resource) provisioned to an OIM User. Entitlement data is stored in child process forms of the process form. In the example described earlier, the process form for Richard's account on the target system has a child process form that holds Inventory Manager role data.
Attributes that constitute entitlement data stored on a child process form may vary from one target system to another. In addition, different types of entitlements, such as roles and responsibilities, may have different attributes. For example, Target System A contains the following role data attributes:
