How
Generate PIN Request item is used by end users to request a PIN be processed.
REST
This is a service provided by the IAM team. I am not sure where the service itself is documented, but it's pretty simple.
A single GET request exists. It accepts requestor_netid, netid and start_date(MM-DD-YYYY) as query parameters. It returns a PIN and a date which it is valid to.
Workflow
The workflow behind the RITM is called RITM_GENERATE_PIN. It uses the non-financial approvers workflow to process approvals.
Business Rule
The Display PIN & ValidityEndDate business rule on the sc_req_item table will display the PIN and the validity date back to the user and other authorized parties after the request is complete.
Portal
Yale - Pin Widget displays the PIN information on the request item on the portal.
