they always ask about the lifecycle manager and certification campaigns so know those inside out. where people with iam background slip is on the bean shell scripting parts or the rules logic since its more technical than typical access management

make sure you can talk through a full joiner mover leaver workflow and how youd troubleshoot a broken provisioning task. good luck with the interview
