Role Maintenance

Authenticx users hold one role. Keep the Entra value mapped to an active role in the same Authenticx organization

Operating Procedure

Entra admins and Authenticx admins must keep role assignments synchronized.

Maintain a role register with:

FieldPurpose
Authenticx role nameHuman-readable role value Entra can send.
Authenticx role IDStable role value Entra can send if names change.
Active/inactive statusOnly active roles can be assigned through SCIM.
Entra sourceApp role, group, expression, or constant that produces the SCIM role value.
OwnerPerson or team responsible for approving role changes.
Last reviewedDate the role mapping was validated.

Recommended operating procedure:

  1. Review Authenticx roles before the first production provisioning cycle.
  2. Re-review the role register whenever an Authenticx role is renamed, deactivated, or created.
  3. Re-test Provision on demand after role mapping changes.
  4. Remove or update Entra assignments that still point to inactive Authenticx roles.
  5. Treat role changes as access-control changes and route them through the same approval path used for application access.

Role changes affect access

Treat a changed role value as an access-control change. Test the mapping and coordinate with your Authenticx administrator before applying it broadly.

For hierarchy access, see the Configuration Guide. Changing a role does not replace hierarchy assignments.
