Create User - How to stop default "systemUserName" generation logic?

[GauravJain]

Hi

We noticed that while creating a user from Saviynt UI, it generates a default "systemUserName" for that user by default. We have to stop this default behavior but couldn't find any relevant references in Saviynt documentation so require an immediate help.

Please let me know if you require any further inputs from my end.

Thanks

Hi @GauravJain 

Please chck Global config->Identityfy lifecycle->in below

Hi @Raghu thanks for your revert. we have already verified this and there is no rule setup here in our test environment.

if want your  logic there need include , other-wsie system will take default username

[GauravJain]

No, it was not taking default as username. Rather its taking first character of "FirstName" + LastName.
Is there a way we can stop this default behaviour as we are using "systemUserName" to store users employee id in import process - the reason for doing this is Saviynt do not have index on employeeID field which is our RECON field?

Hi @GauravJain 

I tried to replicate the issue. It looks to be a bug. I will check and let you know. 

I tried using below workaround to create blank systemusername.

substring(users.firstname,-1,-1)

thanks @Dhruv_S . please confirm if its a bug. i think we cant have any pre-assigned value to "systemUserName" . you can check my earlier reply to Raghu.

Hi @GauravJain 

I have confirmed this internally. This is expected behavior. There is a default systemusername generation logic if systemusername generation rule is not configured.

Thanks @Dhruv_S . it looks like i can update this value once assigned by Saviynt which has resolved my issue for time being. is there a way we can disable this default configuration?

But, is this default behavior same in all different ways of user creation process like creating a user from csv file upload or by using an API end point? I have not tried it out but assuming behavior should be same.

[GauravJain]

Hi @Dhruv_S can you please revert on my last post?

[Dhruv_S · Accepted solution]

Hi @GauravJain 

The behavior is same across all the three ways. Systemusername get generated by default with no rule configured.

1. User created from UI

2. User created from API

3. User created from CSV Import with generate system username selected as yes

This configuration cannot be disabled for UI/API. It can be disabled for the csv import.

Thanks @Dhruv_S for your quick revert. So, the default behavior is not consistent across various options.
