ID Manager (Usercube) - Timezone management

Hello everyone,

I’d love to get your thoughts on a timezone issue we’re running into with ID Manager SaaS. Interestingly, this issue doesn’t occur in our on-prem environments, so it seems specific to the SaaS instance configuration.

Our agent operates in France (UTC+2), but based on the timestamps returned in our SMTP notifications, it seems our IM SaaS instance is running in UTC+0. This discrepancy is causing problems with our identity lifecycle dates, for identity onboarding and offboarding.

To make sure permissions aren’t revoked before a user’s actual end of work day, we currently add 20 hours to the EndDate specified by the admin in the user workflow form — using the parameter AddedMinutes=1200.

However, instead of returning an EndDate of 20:00:00 (UTC+2), the system returns 18:00:00 (UTC), which effectively revokes permissions two hours too early.

Has anyone else encountered this issue ?
Is there a configuration setting (in the XML or appsettings.json) that allows adjusting or aligning the timezone used by the SaaS instance ?

Many thanks in advance for your insights !

Hello Matthieu,

Thank you for pointing this out. It does appear to be the current behavior. I’m coordinating with the relevant teams to gather more insights and will share an update once I have additional details.
Best regards,
Daanish
