About this task

An activity is an action item that is displayed in your activities list as part of a workflow process and requires your action. You can use the Identity Manager Service Center to view your activities, and to act on an activity.
Note: You can view only those attributes for which you are granted read permission.

If the activity is for user re-certification in which you must specify review actions instead of simple decision actions, the activity is marked with an icon and you are redirected to the Self-Service console.
