Provision a RO several times with one user using Access Policies

Question

Hello,
we need to provision several Unix machines and for this purpose, we use one only resource object (SSH User). Additionallyl, we created an access policy for every machine:
- Access Policy Unix Server 1
- Access Policy Unix Server 2
- Access Policy Unix Server N
We created the following group in OIM: SSH Group.
We set the policies in such a way that whenever a user is added to the SSH Group, the SSH User RO is provisioned with the user for every machine. We created several access policies, because the parameters of the form are different for every machine.
The problem is that when a user is added to the SSH Group, the SSH User resource object is provisioned only once. It is provisioned by the access policy with the highest priority. We would like that the SSH User RO was provisioned by every access policy. That is, the user should have the SSH User RO provisioned N times, after adding it to the SSH Group.
Is there any way to achieve this without creating a resource object for every Unix Machine? We need to provision more than 300 Unix machines and this would require a lot of time...
Thank you for your help

There are other options. You could create a child table to hold the IT Resource information, assuming all parent data is the same for every system. Then on the insert/delete to child table entries, you can provision and de-provision from that target. On disable/enable you would need to search through the child table and perform the action against all instances. The same for the other update tasks.
This is the limitation of access policies. They manage a single resource object target instance. You could also code a generic resource that has child table entries. When an insert happens, you can use the APIs to provision and instance of the specific target with the provided details. Then you could create access policies to add entries to the child table, and each would provision the appropriate object, and deprovision too.
Takes some custom code, but it's doable. Just remember though that they are all still the same resource object, so reporting would show them all, as well as attestation, as a single instance, with multiple provisioned to each user.
Another option is to duplicate the work flow using find and replace in the XML and generate a unique workflow for each instance.
