Can an identity have multiple lifecycle states assigned simultaneously?

An identity can only have one lifecycle state assigned at a time due to the design of identity governance frameworks such as SailPoint Identity Now. This singular assignment helps maintain clarity and consistency in identity management processes. Each lifecycle state reflects a specific point in the identity's lifecycle, such as active, suspended, or terminated. Having multiple states assigned simultaneously would create confusion, complicate the identity management process, and undermine the effectiveness of compliance and auditing practices. Therefore, the approach of limiting identities to one lifecycle state at a time is intentional, ensuring that organizations can effectively monitor and control access rights and privileges associated with each identity.
