GRC 5.3 CUP auto provisioning of Mitigation Assignment in RAR

Question

Hello,
Is there any other workflow that needs to be triggered for the auto provisioning of the Mitigation control id assignment to the userid in RAR system from CUP,  upon request completion?
I created a request that after the final stage of sox approver, got auto provisioned roles assigned to the user id in the SAP system , but it also stated that auto provisioning failed and got re-routed to the detour path of the security admin as I configured in case of auto provisioning failure. When I look at the error log, it states:
User Provisioning failed for System(s) : XYZ. Error Message : User type TE is unknown
   Role: ROLEA assigned to user: TESTER1 in System(s): XYZ.
1). So, even though the approved role is being assigned to the user in the backend system, some other stuff is failing at auto provisioning. And I thought it might be the mitigation control assignment to the userid in RAR. I have the mitigation fields/objects active. But how do I ensure the auto-assignment of mitigation control ids also gets assigned on the same request upon sox approval?
2). The other question is where is the value of the 'controller' stored when configuring a stage for workflow approver determinator in the sox approver stage? Where is this value picked up from? We don't want to use the RAR mitigation approvers or monitors, we want to use a custom approver id from CUP and then the control id to be assigned upon approval automatically to the userid in RAR via CUP request completion during auto provisioning. Is this possible? The only thing failing for us is trying to determine how to create the custom approver determinator for SOX approver in CUP since it asks for 'attribute' value for workflow type 'Compliant User Provisioning' which doesn't make sense for this.
And then the above error even though the user role assignment is auto provisioning already but still giving the error as I listed above and re-routing to detour path instead of completing the request. Is it due to auto provisioning failure of mitigation control assignment in RAR?
Thanks in advance,
Alley

Hi Karell,
   Here is response to your questions:
I can use the following CAD in an AE workflow: web service to fetch role approvers. I question this as it is merely a RE workflow service : No. As far as I know the web service is only for RE/ERM.
Can the Risk Analysis be initiated in stage x automatically once stage (x-1) was completed. So no person involved, it is mandatory however, in my opinion there should be no extra person involved to actually press the button "Risk Analysis" : No. There is no way to automate the risk analysis part. Someone will have to click on the button to check for SoD violations. You can configure to run automatic risk analysis when the request is submitted but this is not 100% perfect. If someone adds or removes role during approval phase, it will invalidate the risk analysis which was run during request submission.
Can somehow the Risk Owners defined in the RAR componed be asked to approve/reject risk that came out of the Risk Analysis described in my previous point. They should only be contacted when there is a risk indicated. : This is possible by following Babak's workflow.
