Forms are interactive, customizable input screens that collect exactly the information you need before starting an automated identity process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They work seamlessly with two other key SailPoint capabilities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s the magic formula:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Launcher \u2192 Form \u2192 Workflow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A user clicks a launcher. The form appears, asking for specific details. Once submitted, the workflow runs with complete, accurate data, no chasing, no delays, no errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before Forms:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Managers submit vague requests: \u201cPlease set up Jane Smith, new contractor.\u201d IT must chase details like start dates, department, and apps needed \u2014 wasting days and risking mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Forms:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n A dedicated \u201cContractor Access Request\u201d launcher in the portal opens a form that captures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once submitted, a workflow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2705 Zero missing details<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2705 No over-provisioning<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2705 Automatic offboarding for compliance<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before Forms:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Someone needs admin rights urgently. They email IT. IT grants access \u201cjust in case\u201d for too long, creating a security risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Forms:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n A \u201cTemporary Admin Access\u201d launcher opens a form that asks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The linked workflow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2705 Time-bound elevated privileges<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2705 Full approval and audit trail<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2705 Reduced security exposure<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before Forms:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n An employee asks for access to a restricted database. No one checks if they\u2019ve completed required training. Risk increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Forms:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n A \u201cSensitive Data Access\u201d form captures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The workflow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2705 Policy checks before access is granted<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2705 Clear, documented approval chain<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2705 Lower risk of data misuse<\/p>\n\n\n\n Forms aren\u2019t just a \u201cnice-to-have\u201d feature, they\u2019re a bridge between human input and automated security.
