Transformation rule

Transformation logic for shaping identity attributes from source data in SailPoint IdentityIQ.

Quick answer

Transformation logic for shaping identity attributes from source data in SailPoint IdentityIQ.

Key takeaways
  • Derives identity attribute values from source data
  • IIQ uses rules; ISC uses JSON transforms
  • Common: uppercase, concat, lookup, conditional default
  • Runs during attribute promotion in refresh

Purpose

Transformation logic derives an identity attribute value from one or more source attributes when the identity is refreshed or a mapping is applied.

Rule vs transform

IdentityIQ supports both classic transformation rules and, in Identity Security Cloud, JSON transforms. Both convert raw source values into the clean value stored on the identity.

Common transformations

Uppercasing, concatenation, lookup tables, conditional defaults, and normalising department or location codes into standard values.

Order of operations

Transformations run as attributes are promoted during refresh, so they see the aggregated source data and feed roles and policies downstream.
