Solution
Below are the high-level steps to achieve this use case.
- Identify the list of users for which we want to run the birthright rule for existing users.
- Create a SAV4SAV REST connection. In the ImportuserJSON, mention the userquery to filter the users for whom we want to run the technical rule. (Refer the JSON mentioned below for more details).
- Create a user update rule with condition to update some custom property value and action as ‘Re-run selected technical rule’.
- Create a birthright technical rule with required account/access provisioning actions.
As a sample, we have a user with requirement of provisioning an account and access to the target system. The number of users can be anything. As an example, we are taking one user here.
There is a user with username TestUser_U1.
Technical Rule – Birthright+ Remove if birthright fails. (Detective Not selected)
User update rule
Trigger condition – Trigger when user is updated from import
Sav4Sav Connection
Create a Sav4Sav connection and use the importuser JSON like below.
ImportUserJSON
In this JSON, we are trying to update the value of customproperty25 with the value of location.
{
"connection": "userAuth",
"url": "https://XYZ.saviyntcloud.com/ECM/api/v5/getUser",
"httpMethod": "POST",
"httpHeaders": {
"Authorization": "${access_token}",
"contentType": "application/json"
},
"httpParams": "{\"userQuery\":\"username like 'TestUser_U1' \"}",
"httpContentType": "application/json",
"colsToPropsMap": {
"username": "username~#~char",
"locationdesc": "locationdesc~#~char",
"street": "street~#~char",
"city": "city~#~char",
"state": "state~#~char",
"country": "country~#~char",
"customproperty25": "location~#~char"
},
"userResponsePath": "userdetails",
"pagination": {
"offset": {
"offsetParam": "offset",
"batchParam": "max",
"batchSize": 10000,
"totalCountPath": "completeResponseMap.total"
}
}
}
Run the userimport job with connection as sav4sav and below checkboxes should be selected.
- Checkrules
- Zero day provisioning
Run the userimportjob and wait till the Job shows success message.
We can see that the Custom property 25 is updated, and rules are triggered.
Corresponding new account and add access tasks are created as per the actions defined in birthright technical rule.
In this way, we are able to trigger the birthright technical rule for an existing user without making use of detective job.
