What happens when a provisioning request is made for a user who already has an account?

When a provisioning request is made for a user who already has an account, it is common for the system to evaluate the existing access before proceeding. The provisioning request may be skipped because the user already possesses the necessary access rights or account configurations. This behavior is designed to prevent unnecessary duplication of accounts and to streamline the provisioning process, ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently.

In identity governance and administration, it's critical for systems like SailPoint Identity Security Cloud to manage user accounts intelligently. Skipping a provisioning request when the user already has the appropriate access helps maintain clean and manageable account provisioning processes, reducing administrative overhead and potential errors that could arise from creating multiple accounts for the same user. This efficient approach aligns with best practices in identity management, which prioritize effective user access governance.
