15.2 Looking at Your Approved Role Requests

The My Roles action lets you look at the status and details for your approved roles. It shows roles that have a status of Provisioned or Pending Activation, but not role requests that have not yet been approved.

To look at your approved roles:

    The User Application displays the current status of role assignments for the currently authenticated user.

    The columns in the assignment list table are described below:

    • The Source column indicates the manner in which the role assignment was made for the user, as described below:

    • The Effective Date column shows the date when the assignment goes into effect. If no date is displayed, the assignment went into effect immediately after it was requested.

    • The Expiration Date column shows the date when the assignment expires. If no date is displayed, the assignment remains in effect indefinitely.

    • The Status column shows whether the assignment has been granted:
