Updating User attribute from accounts attribute

[sppnra]

Hi Saviynt team,

I have one use case where when the AD account recon runs we have to take the customproperty4 from accounts attribute and update that to users attribute customproperty30 and that should trigger a user update rule which will write back that users customproperty30 to the Authoritative source which is SAP SF.

I tried using customquery but customquery is not able to trigger any rule. One option is to use savtosav rest connection for updateuserjson. but not able to find a way to write multiple calls API query 

Can you please suggest if there is any easier way to do this

Hi @sppnra ,

You can also use USER_ATTRIBUTES json in AD connection to update the users customproperty30 directly with values from AD. It will trigger the update rule as well.

Sample USER_ATTRIBUTES JSON:

[
CUSTOMPROPERTY30::mail#String,
UPDATEDATE::whenChanged#customDate--yyyyMMddHHmmss.'0Z',
CREATEDATE::whenCreated#customDate--yyyyMMddHHmmss.'0Z',
USERNAME::sAMAccountName#String,
RECONCILATION_FIELD::USERNAME
]

update mail AD attribute with your required one.

Hi @pmahalle ,

But AD is not the target source, we are not importing users, we are just importing accounts, I dont think so this will work?

Hi @sppnra ,

Even though your are importing accounts, you can also use the same connection for updating the users in Saviynt using USERS_ATTRIBUTES json.

Here you are not creating the users in Saviynt from AD, just updating it.

Hi @sppnra ,

Adding to @pmahalle , you would configure the UserImportJob as following :

It will only update existing identities, and do not create new users.
