No, a user with Report-admin level permissions cannot view a live display of events in progress. The Report-admin role is primarily concerned with reporting functions,

such as viewing and managing reports. Viewing live events, especially operational or real-time system events, would require higher-level permissions, typically associated

with System Admin or Operations Admin roles, which have access to system dashboards, monitoring tools, and event logs.

Passthrough authentication in SailPoint IdentityNow refers to a method where the authentication process happens through a trusted identity provider (IdP),

rather than using credentials stored directly in SailPoint IdentityNow. The key feature of passthrough authentication is that the user ' s login attempt is authenticated

via external authentication mechanisms such as Active Directory, SAML-based Identity Providers (IdPs), or other federated identity providers.

In the given use case, the user is logging into IdentityNow using a password set directly in IdentityNow during registration. This process describes local authentication

(where IdentityNow manages the credentials), not passthrough authentication. Since passthrough authentication relies on external IdPs or federated systems,

this case does not accurately describe passthrough authentication.

No, custom connectors are not developed and compiled inside IdentityNow . Custom connectors are typically developed outside of the

IdentityNow platform using a development environment and then tested and packaged before being uploaded to the platform. These connectors

can be developed using tools provided by SailPoint, but the actual development process occurs externally, not directly within the IdentityNow environment.

Key Reference from SailPoint Documentation:

Custom Connector Development: Custom connectors are developed outside of the IdentityNow platform and then integrated into it for use.

Yes, search-based certification campaigns can be leveraged to target specific access held by users. This allows administrators to create highly focused

certification campaigns by searching for specific attributes, entitlements, or roles within the system. These campaigns enable targeted access reviews,

ensuring that particular access rights, such as high-risk entitlements, are regularly reviewed and certified by the appropriate stakeholders.

Certifications are not assigned to the reviewer when the campaign status is " Preview Ready. " The " Preview Ready "

status indicates that the campaign is prepared for review by administrators, and the certification details can be previewed before

launching the campaign. However, the certifications are only assigned to the reviewers once the campaign is in the " Active " status,

which signifies the start of the certification process. At this point, reviewers can access the certifications assigned to them.
