A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
An identity administrator wants a user's group memberships, app roles, and SharePoint site roles to be removed automatically on the project's fixed end date, regardless of whether any of the user's attributes ever change. What should be configured in entitlement management?
The concept
Entitlement management offers two distinct automation mechanisms for removing access packages: automatic assignment policies driven by attribute changes, and lifecycle settings driven by fixed dates or expiration rules.
Why this answer
Because removal must happen on a specific calendar date independent of attribute changes, lifecycle settings for the access package (expiration date) are the correct mechanism, not attribute-driven automatic assignment.
- Correct: lifecycle settings remove assignments on a specific date, matching the fixed project end date requirement.
- BAutomatic assignment policies add or remove access based on changes to user attributes, not on a fixed calendar date unrelated to attribute changes.
- CDynamic groups also react to attribute changes on the user object, they don't enforce a date-based removal independent of attributes.
- DLogic Apps triggered on request approval run custom workflow actions at request time, they don't provide scheduled date-based removal.
- ERecurring access reviews depend on a reviewer's decision to remove access, not on an automatic fixed expiration date.
