Jobs - Novell IDENTITY MANAGER 3.6.1 - STAGING BEST PRACTICES GUIDE 2010 Manual

There are several reasons why you might want to make the policy a trustee of an object:
One of the policy's entitlements requires the policy's members to have rights to an object.
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.
These rights are not stored in Designer. You should assign the rights after moving to the next stage.

2.5.3 Jobs

Identity Manager has a job scheduling utility that schedules events, such as setting the system to
disable an account on a specific day, or initiating a workflow to request an extension for a person to
access a corporate resource. The Job Manager runs on every Identity Manager server in the
background. Based on the job definition, it checks every minute to see if a job needs to run. When it
encounters a job, it runs the appropriate Job implementation.
The Job Manager needs appropriate permissions to run succesfully. For example, a job that disables
a user account from the Identity Vault needs adequate permissions. Appropriate access must be
granted to the job object in the Identity Vault so that it can modify a user object. Use iManager to
grant the required rights for the jobs because Designer does not allow you to grant rights for jobs.
