Cost-Center and Location as custom Organisation type

Hi Saviynt team,

we have a requirement to manage cost-centers and locations, our approach is to use organisation objects with custom organisation-types "cost-center" and "location".

Is it possible to configure custom organisation types?

The structure would look like:

  • Organization 1 (type: Company)
    • Cost-Center 1 (type: Cost-Center)
    • Cost-Center 2  (type: Cost-Center)
    • Location 1  (type: Location)
    • Location 2 (type: Location)
    • ...
  • Organization 2 (type: Company)
    • Cost-Center 1 (type: Cost-Center)
    • ...

Each object holds information specific to the company / cost-center / location.

So on the user object we have three references.

  • user.CUSTOMER --> organization (type: Company)
  • user.CustomProperty-X --> organization (type: Cost-Center)
  • user.CustomProperty-Y --> organization (type: Location)

If we need this data, we can reference it, without the need to store it on every user:

user.CustomProperty-X.CustomProperty-A

(read CustomProperty-A from the user's Cost-Center).

  • Can we create custom Organization Types?
  • Maybe anyone had similar requirements?
  • If yes, how do you manage cost-centers and locations?

Lets not use Organization as that functionality specifically designed for TPAG, You will face issue in future.

Below approch can be followed

  • Data Set --> Provides Upload Option
  • Create Entitlement Type under Sav4Sav and use Entitlements 
    • Here you can also tag Cost center / Organization to user

Hi @groot 

As Discussed,

Please use the Dynamic attribute concept to populate cost center details and use it in the create account json.

 

Thanks
