Can we use user registration form attributes in username generation rule?

Hi Everyone,

We have different user types and the username generation rule should be different for all of them.

For ex, for employees, it is calculated using their first name and last name.

But for other type, it should be one of the dynamic variable values provided in the user registration form.

Is it possible to use the form dynamic variable in username generation rule?

If yes, how to achieve that? Can you give an example?

Hi Sakshi,

You could try with a sample shared below in the advanced query feature. 

case when (users.employeeType Like 'Employee') then concat(users.firstname,users.lastname) when (users.employeeType Like 'Contractor') then concat(users.lastname,users.firstname) else users.systemUserName End

It may not be syntactically correct at this time but this is just to give you an idea on how you can generate username based on employeeType.

As per the engineering team, the advanced query feature for username generation isn't functional.

Sakshi,

Under Global Config > Identity Lifecycle > Add Register User Rule do you atleast see an option as shown below ?

Hi,

Yes, I see this option.

Saviynt support team replied on the ticket that Advanced Config button is visible on UI for register user rule but it is not functional and doesn't work on the backend.

Hi Sakshi,

I believe you have already tried an it is not working. Perhaps it is a limitation on the version that you are on.
