Exam IdentityIQ-Associate Topic 2 Question 12 Discussion

The statement is false. The Identity Refresh task does not execute aggregation rules configured on an application definition. Aggregation rules are part of the application aggregation process, where IdentityIQ connects to a source system, reads account or group data, applies connector and application-level processing, and stores account links, entitlement values, and related data in the IdentityIQ repository.
The Identity Refresh task operates after data is already present in IdentityIQ. Its function is to update IdentityCubes and recalculate identity-level governance information. Depending on selected options, Identity Refresh may update identity attributes, refresh role assignments, detect assigned or detected roles, evaluate policies, process lifecycle events, refresh manager relationships, or recalculate risk and access-related identity state.
Application aggregation and identity refresh are separate task functions. Aggregation obtains and normalizes data from applications; Identity Refresh interprets and recalculates identity governance state using that aggregated data. Therefore, rules tied specifically to aggregation on the application definition are execute during aggregation, not during Identity Refresh.
