Provisioning rule

Provisioning rules that customise how account changes are pushed to a target system in SailPoint IdentityIQ.

Quick answer

Provisioning rules that customise how account changes are pushed to a target system in SailPoint IdentityIQ.

Key takeaways
  • Customise how a plan is applied to a target
  • Scripted/manual connectors implement operations in a rule
  • Translate plan operations into target-specific calls
  • Return clear, retryable results for recovery

Where they fit

Provisioning rules customise how a connector carries out a provisioning plan, filling gaps where the standard connector behaviour is not enough.

Connector vs rule

Most provisioning is handled by the connector from the plan. A provisioning rule (often for scripted or manual connectors) implements the actual create, modify, enable or delete operations.

Working with the plan

The rule receives the provisioning plan and account request and translates each operation into calls the target understands, returning a result.

Error handling

Return clear results and retryable errors so the provisioning engine and workflows can report and recover correctly.
