Bulk Creation of IIQ Workgroups

IdentityIQ (IIQ) IIQ Discussion and Questions
1

I have a need to create over 500 IIQ Workgroups. Is there a way to bulk create these? Looking at the generic importer that we use for bulk role/bundle creation, it does not appear to have a way to use it for workgroup creation.

Thanks in advance!

Workgroup objects are basically Identity objects with workgroup=“true” as an attribute. So for example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE Identity PUBLIC "sailpoint.dtd" "sailpoint.dtd">
<Identity name="IAM-Support" workgroup="true">
    <Attributes>
        <Map>
            <entry key="displayName" value="IAM-Support"/>
        </Map>
    </Attributes>
    <Capabilities>
        <Reference class="sailpoint.object.Capability" name="IAMSupport"/>
    </Capabilities>
    <Owner>
        <Reference class="sailpoint.object.Identity" name="IDS-Admins"/>
    </Owner>
    <Preferences>
        <Map>
            <entry key="workgroupNotificationOption">
                <value>
                    <WorkgroupNotifationOption>MembersOnly</WorkgroupNotifationOption>
                </value>
            </entry>
        </Map>
    </Preferences>
</Identity>

You should be able to import these the same way you would import any object.

Thanks Mark! I will try that later today.

Adding to my colleague Mark’s post, if you use a tool like the Rule Runner plugin, you can just paste the names of the workgroups from a CSV (or whatever) into a variable and use Beanshell to create the Identities.

Adding Sample code to create WorkGroups via Rule.

import java.util.Collections;

import sailpoint.api.SailPointContext;
import sailpoint.object.Identity;
import sailpoint.tools.GeneralException;


Identity workGroup = new Identity();
workGroup.setName("WorkGroup1");
workGroup.setDescription("This is a test Workgroup");
workGroup.setWorkgroup(true);
workGroup.setEmail("[email protected]");
workGroup.setPreferences(Collections.singletonMap("workgroupNotificationOption", Identity.WorkgroupNotificationOption.GroupEmailOnly));
context.saveObject(workGroup);
context.commitTransaction();

We ended up finding the SSF Tools Workgroup Migrator prior to installing the RuleRunner plugin. The SSF Tools Workgroup Migrator worked perfectly for what we needed.

Is there a way to create a workgroup through the current endpoints in IIQ?
