The Unifyia platform's workflow module allows administrators to configure workflows for identity issuance, both for platform users and integrated external credential management systems. This tutorial provides an overview on the importance of workflows, supported identity devices, supported identity types and the workflow features.

Overview

Workflows are essential in optimizing the identity issuance process within an organization. Workflows establish a structured framework for identity issuance by defining the steps, required data, and task sequence. This guarantees a consistent and standardized approach to identity issuance.

Customization is a key feature of workflows, allowing tailoring to the specific needs and policies of the organization. You can design various authentication workflows to accommodate different assurance levels. You have the flexibility to configure workflows by selecting essential data elements and ensuring compliance with organizational regulations for data capture.

Furthermore, workflows facilitate users to be associated with group(s), role(s), device profiles, visual IDs, enrollment data, type of identity to be issued, and the sequence of issuance during the identity issuance process. This ensures that each user is issued identities according to their role and requirements.

In addition to allowing creating workflows for the platform users, the Unifyia platform allows organizations to create workflows for external credential manangement systems when integrated to issue and manage PIV IDs.

Compliance with regulatory standards and organizational policies is another crucial aspect facilitated by workflows. Incorporating essential checks and validations ensures adherence to regulatory guidelines and internal policies throughout the identity issuance process. Additionally, workflows offer real-time visibility into the status of identity issuance tasks, empowering administrators to monitor progress effectively.

Supported Identity Devices

Identity Types

You can configure workflows for the below-listed identity types.

You can configure a single workflow that enables users to be issued single or multiple types of credentials that can be used for multi-factor authentication. The possible combinations are listed below. It may be noted that a PIV ID must be issued first for a user to enable the issuance of DPIV, DFIDO, and DMobile identitites.

The workflow feature of the Unifyia platform allows you to do the following:
