No. This statement does not accurately describe role acquisition in IdentityIQ. Business roles are not restricted to being requested only by managers. In IdentityIQ, roles may be acquired through role assignment logic, role detection, access requests, or administrative action, depending on the role configuration and the organization’s request model.

A business role commonly represents access associated with a business function, job, department, location, or organizational responsibility. Users may receive business roles automatically when their identity attributes satisfy configured role profiles or assignment rules, typically recalculated during Identity Refresh. Separately, roles may be made requestable through Lifecycle Manager and exposed through QuickLinks, where request eligibility is controlled by QuickLink Populations, request configuration, and workflow rules.

Managers may be allowed to request roles for direct reports, but that is only one possible configuration. IdentityIQ can also allow users to request roles for themselves, allow delegated requesters to request for others, or restrict requests to specific populations.

Therefore, “only requested by managers” is too narrow and incorrect. Reference topics: Access Modeling, business roles, role assignment, role detection, Identity Refresh, User-Driven Requests, QuickLink Populations, and role request configuration.
