A new security setting in Password Station “Enable Destination URL Parameter for PS Default Page” was added to enable this feature

Lifecycle Management

Automated Approvers feature that allows for leveraging existing systems to automatically approve a user’s access if certain requirements are met. I good example of this would be making sure a user has taken proper training prior to being granted access to a system.
Identity Analyzer Connector level enable option allowing for configuration to determine what systems are included in the IA collection process
Role Consolidation will help to make sure that roles and privileges are managed. If user has privilege A as a standalone privilege, then is given role B which contains privilege A, then the standalone privilege assignment is removed and managed by the role
Alter Recipients for IE User email template "Recipient Acknowledgement Required"
Allow for Delegation of who can see and manage GE rules
Email address to all the user grids and exports in the Test Rule wizard plus on the non-wizard rule execute page

Added a feature to associate a role code with a role, and set the provision event in the HR feed to map the code to up to 6 columns in the HR data
Improved functionality where after role consolidation or simple transfer, granted items that should have been marked as “Approved and Executed” were incorrectly stuck in an “Approved and Executed But Not Fully Granted” state. During an upgrade, this data will be corrected to reflect the true state of the transaction
Adjusted Deferred Queuing that when enabled and an item comes through the HR Feed for an existing user and is future dated, that items no longer eligible for deferred queueing. Deferred queuing is now only for items where the authoritative source account does not exist yet.
Corrected an issue with Roles and Approver page always showing future dated items. Now, once a future dated item is fully approved, it is hidden from the approver page for workflow administrators. You must check the “Show Future Events” check box to display future dated actions. The workflow administrator can cancel future dated requests.
Added the ability for Store Manager to import groups at the root of the domain, and those not contained within a specific OU
Functionality to combine the role consolidation and role reconciliation logic so privileges added outside of a role that are then added to a role are removed from the remove access grid when they become part of the role and the role is consolidated. The request history then correctly shows a history of "relocated."
Ability for Automated Approvers to be specified in the workflow
Ability to CSV Export the tables on the IE Unresolved Approvers page.
Improved page load performance for the Approver/WorkflowAdmin UI for customers who have large numbers of items in the queue.
