Modifying Workflows

Conditions

Once a workflow has been created, you may Edit or Delete it with the following conditions:

  • Only PAM System Adminstrators will be able to create, update or delete workflows.
  • Changes to an existing workflow will be applied to new instances. Currently Active or In-progress workflow instances will maintain their original configuration.
  • Any changes to a workflow template must be Published before they can be used in a binding.
  • Workflow templates may not be deleted if they are currently being used in a binding.
  • If a binding is removed from a user (Edit or Delete) who has an Active request, this action will immediately become available to the user regardless of the workflow process. The workflow will remain in its Active state until it is either Terminated by the user or Rejected by an approver.
