task brazil Updated Sep 10, 2026 1 min read cam-create-state-model.md

Create a Governance, Risk, and Compliance state model to define the steps, transitions, and validations for a custom workflow in CAM. State models control how authorization packages move through workflow life cycles and determine which actions are available at each step.

Before you begin

Role required: sn_irm_cont_auth.admin

Procedure

Navigate to All > Continuous Authorization and Monitoring > Administration > GRC State Models.
Select New to create a state model record.

On the GRC state model New record form, fill in the fields.

Fields	Descriptions
Name	Enter a name for the state model.
Active	Select the Active option to enable the state model.
Table name	Select Authorization Package [sn_irm_cont_auth_auth_pack].
State field	Select State Model [state_model].
State model	Select Step [step].

Select Submit.

You’re directed to the GRC state models list page.

Result

The state model is ready to be configured with workflow states, transitions, and attributes. After completing the configuration, you can map the state model to a workflow configuration and use it for authorization packages.
