CO Person and Person Role Status

About Status

Each CO Person Role has a status attached to it, and each CO Person has an overall status that is generally calculated as the "most preferred" of the attached CO Person Role statuses. Statuses represent various states in the identity lifecycle, and various statuses have specific meanings within COmanage.

Status can be changed under various circumstances:

• As part of Enrollment or Invitation.
• As part of an Organizational Identity Source and Pipeline sync.
• Due to an Expiration Policy.
• By updating CO Person Role validity dates.
  • If a Role is in Pending status and the Valid From date is updated to be in the past, the Role will automatically change to Active status.
  • If a Role is in Active status and the Valid From date is updated to be in the future, the Role will automatically change to Pending status.
  • If a Role is in Expired status and the Valid Through date is updated to be in the future, the Role will automatically change to Active status.
  • If a Role is in Active or Grace Period status and the Valid Through date is updated to be in the past, the Role will automatically change to Expired status.
• Manually. Note that manual changes will be overwritten when an automatic update would result in a different status.

CO Person Status Recalculation

The status of a CO Person is generally calculated from the status of the CO Person Roles attached. This happens automatically under the following conditions:

• When a CO Petition is approved/the Enrollee becomes active.
• When an Expiration Policy changes the status of a CO Person Role.
• When updating a CO Person Role Valid Through date causes the CO Person Role to become Active.
• When a Pipeline results in a status change.
• When a CO Person Role status is manually changed.

The CO Person status is set to the "most preferred" status of the attached CO Person Roles. "Most preferred" is currently defined as the order in the table, below. In general, active statuses are most preferred, followed by expired statuses (since there may have been skeletal records provisioned that need to be maintained), followed by invitation statuses.

CO Person and Person Role Records are passed to Provisioners based on their status, as indicated in the table, below.

 This table is effective as of Registry v2.0.0. For earlier versions, see this page.

 In Registry v2.x and v3.x, this table is only supported by certain provisioners (Ldap, Crowd, LdapServiceToken). (CO-1740)

Locking CO Person Status

As of Registry v4.0.0, the CO Person status may be set to Locked. Doing so will disable the entire Person record, regardless of the underlying CO Person Role statuses. The CO Person status can only be reset by a CO or COU administrator. Enrollment Flows, Pipelines, and Expiration Policies are unable to reset a Locked status.

 Locking a Person does not lock their Authenticators. Applications should check for Authorization information, which is deprovisioned when the record is Locked.

CO Person Roles cannot be set to Locked, since it is intended as a Person status only. Individual Roles may be set to Suspended, Expired, or Deleted.
