Is the following true of Identity Provisioning Policies? Solution: The Create Identity Provisioning Policy will be applied to identity creation…

The statement is true. The "Create" Identity Provisioning Policy is a core component of the identity creation process in IdentityIQ. It is specifically triggered during an Identity Refresh (aggregation) task when an account from an authoritative source does not correlate to an existing Identity. The policy then runs to populate the attributes of the newly created Identity Cube. This ensures that new identities are immediately populated with correct, derived, or default values as defined by the organization's business logic, enforcing data consistency and authorization rules from the outset.

B. No: This is incorrect. The described scenario is the primary and intended use case for the "Create" Identity Provisioning Policy within the IdentityIQ framework.

1. SailPoint IdentityIQ 8.2 Administration Guide, "Identity Mappings", Page 115: "Identity mappings are applied during aggregation to create and update Identity Cubes... When a new identity is created from an authoritative account, the Create map is used to populate the attributes of the new Identity Cube."

2. SailPoint University, "IdentityIQ Administration" Courseware, Module: "Identity and Account Aggregation": The course materials detail the Identity Refresh process, explaining that when an authoritative application is scanned and a new account is found, a new Identity Cube is created. The "Create" Identity Provisioning Policy (Identity Mapping) is explicitly applied during this step to set the initial attribute values for the new identity.
