Multi-Certifier in Certification Campaigns​

note

This feature is currently in preview. See Activating Preview Features for setup instructions and safety guidance.

Overview​

Multi-certifier support allows multiple reviewers to be assigned to the same item during a certification campaign. All assigned certifiers receive the review request simultaneously, and can act on it. The last certifier to make a decision and confirm it, will be recorded as the Reviewer. Once a decision is confirmed, the item is automatically removed from the queues of all other assigned certifiers.

This behavior mirrors the existing multi-approver logic used in access requests and reconciliation tasks, bringing consistency to certification workflows.

Why Multi-Certifier?​

Previously, only a single certifier could be assigned to a permission during a campaign. When multiple application owners existed, this created ambiguity about who was responsible, often resulting in:

  • Bottlenecks and missed deadlines
  • Unnecessary reassignment steps
  • Lower campaign completion rates

With multi-certifier, all eligible reviewers can act immediately without waiting for a reassignment, improving both speed and clarity.

How It Works​

Configuring the Reviewer Mode​

The reviewer mode is configured at the campaign level. When creating a campaign, a Reviewer Mode field offers two options:

  • Single Reviewer: The default behavior. NIM assigns the campaign item to the first eligible certifier it finds.
  • Multiple Reviewers: All users with permission rights to certify the item are notified and can act on it simultaneously.
warning

The Reviewer Mode is set at the time of campaign creation and cannot be modified once the campaign has launched. Make sure to select the appropriate mode before starting the campaign.

Review Workflow​
  1. Notification: All assigned certifiers receive a notification when a campaign item requires review.
  2. Decisions remain visible: Even after an item has been reviewed, other certifiers can still find it by filtering on Approved or Refused. The name of the certifier who made the most recent decision is shown in the Reviewer column.
  3. Editing before confirmation: As long as decisions have not been confirmed, any reviewer can edit and change a decision made by another certifier.
  4. Confirmation locks decisions: Once a reviewer confirms decisions, the decision can no longer be modified.
note

On simultaneous conflicting decisions: In rare cases where two certifiers submit conflicting decisions at the same moment, the system resolves the conflict by applying the last received decision, consistent with how conflicts are handled in role reviews elsewhere in the product.

Confirming Decisions​

When a certifier clicks Confirm Decisions:

  • Only the decisions that the certifier has personally made are finalized.
  • Decisions made by other certifiers are confirmed independently when those certifiers confirm their own decisions.
  • Confirmed decisions cannot be modified.

In the Confirm Decisions tab, each certifier can see a summary that includes:

  • Items approved by me
  • Items approved by others
  • Items refused by me
  • Items refused by others

Campaign reports show:

All certification actions are recorded in the system database, including:

  • The name of the certifier who made the decision
  • The decision that was made (approved or refused)
  • The date and time the decision was recorded

Right-to-Left Language Support​

note

This feature is currently in preview. See Activating Preview Features for setup instructions and safety guidance.

Overview​

Netwrix Identity Manager does not natively include any right-to-left (RTL) languages. However, with this preview feature activated, the NIM UI is capable of rendering in RTL layout when the appropriate translation files are provided.

This allows organizations that operate in RTL languages, such as Arabic or Hebrew, to experience a correctly oriented interface without waiting for native language support to be added to the product.

How It Works​

RTL support requires:

  1. Provide your own translation files for the RTL language you want to support. NIM does not supply these files, so your team or a localization partner will need to prepare them.
  2. Activate the RTL preview feature in the Preview section of the Settings in the UI, following the steps in the Activating Preview Features section above.

Once activated, the UI will adapt its layout to support right-to-left reading direction based on the language defined in your translation files.

Providing Feedback​

Features in preview are in active development. If you encounter issues or have suggestions, please share your feedback with your Netwrix Identity Manager representative or through the support portal.
