By default, the criteria include all User class objects (and objects of classes derived from the 
User class) within the search scope.
If you create a new object class derived from User, an existing entitlement policy does not 
recognize that class until you make a modification to the entitlement policy. This prevents users 
of a new class from being granted entitlements unintentionally. When any modification is made 
to the entitlement policy, the list of user-derived classes for that policy is updated. 

7

After you have added the criteria you want, click 

Test Filter

 to view the list or users who meet 

the criteria.

8

On the 

Step 3 of 6: Define Static Members

 page, fill in the fields:

Static membership lets you include users who don’t meet the dynamic membership criteria or 
exclude users who meet the criteria but should not be members of the policy.

Include Members: 

Type the DN of a user you want to include, or click   to browse for and 

select the user, then press Enter to add the user to the inclusion list. To remove a user from the 
inclusion list, select the user and press Delete. To edit a user name, double-click the user.

Exclude Members: 

Type the DN of a user you want to exclude, or click   to browse for and 

select the user, then press Enter to add the user to the exclusion list. To remove a user from the 
exclusion list, select the user and press Delete. To edit a user name, double-click the user.

9

On the 

Step 4 of 6: Select Entitlements on the Connected Systems to Grant to Users

 page, add 

the entitlements you want associated with the policy. To do so:

9a

Click 

Add Driver

 to display a list of drivers with entitlements.

9b

Select the driver with the entitlement you want to add, then click 

Add

 to display a list of 

the driver’s entitlements.

9c

Select the entitlement you want to add, then click 

Add

.

9d

If the entitlement requires you to set a value, click   to add the value.
or
If the entitlement requires a query to display the appropriate values (for example, a query 
for the groups in the connected system), run the query and select the appropriate value. 
You can choose an external query, which runs a new query of the connected system, or 
you can choose a cached query, which simply displays the results of the last query that ran. 

9e

To add another entitlement from the same driver, click the   icon located on the same 
line as the driver name.

9f

To add an entitlement from another driver, repeat 

Step 9a

 through 

Step 9d

.

10

On the 

Step 5 of 6: Assign Rights to Objects

 page, add the Identity Vault objects for which you 

want the entitlement policy to be a trustee.
Each member of the policy becomes a trustee of the objects you add. There are several reasons 
why you might want to make the policy a trustee of an object:

Š

One of the policy’s entitlements requires the policy’s members to have rights to an object.

Š

You want to use the policy to assign users as trustees of an object even though rights to the 
object are not required for an entitlement. In this case, you are using the entitlement policy 
to grant and revoke trustee rights for members of the policy.

Trustee rights are assigned to the policy’s members as soon as you click 

Next

 to leave this page. 

Use the following options to manage the trustee assignments:
