What occurs in Data-Driven / automated Provisioning?

In Data-Driven or automated provisioning, user data and system attributes are leveraged to automatically manage the provisioning of access and resources to users based on specific criteria. This approach is highly efficient as it minimizes manual intervention and accelerates the response time to changing user needs.

The correct answer reflects the concept that data, such as a user's lifecycle state or role assignments, can trigger automated provisioning actions. For instance, when a new role is assigned to a user or a user transitions through different stages of employment (like onboarding or offboarding), the system can automatically adjust their access rights and permissions. This operation is dependent on predefined rules and policies established within the identity management system, thereby streamlining the overall access management process.

Options mentioning manual approval for all changes, user actions leading to system shutdowns, or requiring pre-approval by management imply a more traditional, manual process of provisioning, which contradicts the principles of automation. In data-driven provisioning, the goal is to automate these processes as much as possible, reducing delays and ensuring that access is adjusted accurately based on the user's data, without unnecessary bottlenecks.
