To initiate a user profile attestation process:

1. Click Request User Profile Attestation Process in the list of Attestation Requests actions.

   The User Application displays a page that lets you specify details about the attestation process.

   

2. If you want to use the details from a previously saved request as the basis for this request, click Use a Saved Request. For more information, see Section 19.6.7, Using a Saved Request.

3. Specify the display label and description for the request. For more information, see Section 19.6.1, Specifying the Label and Description for a Request.

4. In the Users box, select the users whose profiles will be verified:

   1. To include one or more users explicitly, select User in the drop-down list.

      

      Use the Object Selector to select the users. In the Object Selector, you can include multiple users by clicking the checkbox for each item, and clicking Select.

      For details on using the Object Selector, see Section 1.4.4, Common User Actions.

   2. To include the users in one or more groups, select Group in the drop-down list.

      Use the Object Selector to select the groups. In the Object Selector, you can include multiple groups by clicking the checkbox for each item, and clicking Select.

   3. To include the users in one or more roles, click Role in the drop-down list.

      Use the Object Selector to select the roles. In the Object Selector, you can include multiple roles by clicking the checkbox for each item, and clicking Select.

   4. To include the users in a container, click Container in the drop-down list.

      Use the Object Selector to drill down to the desired container, then click on the container to select it.

      If you want the user assignment report to include all users in the selected sub-containers, you need to check the Include all users of sub-containers checkbox at the bottom of the list of selected items. The Include all users of sub-containers checkbox is displayed only when Container is selected in the drop-down list. However, you can change the Include all users of sub-containers setting without having to remove and add any of your previously selected containers.

      You must select at least one user, group, role, or container to launch an attestation process. However, you are not required to select a user, group, role, or container to save a request.

5. In the Attesters field, note that the text is read-only. In a user profile attestation process, the attesters are the users selected in the Users field, along with all of the members of any groups, roles, and containers you added in the Users field. This is because each user must be the attester for his/her own profile; no other user can be the attester.

6. Specify the deadline for the attestation process. For more information, see Section 19.6.3, Specifying the Deadline.

7. Define the details of the attestation form. For more information, see Section 19.6.4, Defining the Attestation Form.

8. Submit the request. For more information, see Section 19.6.5, Submitting an Attestation Request.

9. Optionally click Save Request Details to save the details associated with an attestation process request (such as parameter and form values) for later use. For more information, see Section 19.6.6, Saving Request Details.
