Field value rule
Quick answer
Field value rules that compute default or derived values for provisioning policy and form fields in SailPoint IdentityIQ.
Key takeaways
- Computes default/derived values for policy and form fields
- Receives the identity and field context
- Common: username, email, default OU, form pre-fill
- Handle uniqueness by checking existing accounts
Purpose
A field value rule computes the value of a field in a provisioning policy or form, for example generating a username, email or default OU when an account is created.
Inputs
The rule gets the identity and the current field context, so it can derive a value from identity attributes and existing account data.
Common uses
Username generation with uniqueness checks, email construction, default group or OU selection, and pre-filling request forms.
Uniqueness
For values that must be unique (like samAccountName), the rule queries existing accounts and appends a suffix until it finds a free value.
