What syntax is required when writing a new rule?

When writing a new rule in SailPoint Identity Security Cloud, the syntax required is BeanShell or Java. BeanShell is a lightweight scripting language that allows you to write Java-like code, which makes it particularly useful for rule development in the SailPoint environment. It provides flexibility in writing dynamic and condition-based logic for identity governance processes.

Java is also a core language used in the development of more complex functionalities within SailPoint, as it interacts seamlessly with other components of the platform. By allowing both BeanShell and Java, SailPoint provides developers with the ability to use simple scripting for more straightforward tasks while also offering the option to leverage the full power of Java for more intricate logic or processes.

The other options suggested do not align with the requirements for rule writing in this context. Python or Java is more relevant for different programming environments. JavaScript or C++ is not utilized within SailPoint’s identity governance framework. HTML or CSS, which are used for web development and styling, are not applicable in this scenario at all.
