I have created a Delimited source and marked it as authoritative. I have revisited the source to check if I have marked it authoritative or not. But then I couldn’t see the option in the UI, however I have pulled the json from postman and confirmed. Is there any way that we could see it in the SailPoint ISC UI.
I have observed the same behavior. not able to distinguish from UI.
While creating Identity Profile it lists all sources irrespective of auth flag.
as per my understanding it is possible to see & update through API call.
Option to mark a source as authoritative is a recent feature and I do not see any effect of checking this option.
Hi @iamnithesh
I agree with your input. I just created two sources (auth and non-auth) and two Identity Profiles, and didn’t see any difference.
During this exercise, I discovered another issue: even after properly mapping the last name and email, the error persisted once detected.
preview:
If a source is marked as authoritative and if Identity Profile is not created yet for that source then it will display a warning that you haven’t created Identity Profile for this source in source configuration page.
Apart from this, there is no effect at the moment.

You can find in source config “authoritative”: true, if it is set as Authoritative source. You can mark it as true if required from Postman or VSCode.
Even if you don’t add there is no difference.
I believe SailPoint will rollout this feature, display only sources marked as Authoritative under Identity Profile → Source, but not yet. They added this flag recently, they definitely might have some usecases to be build based on these flag.

Identity Profile needs to be refreshed, it might take sometime to reflect the changes to resolve the errors, by next scheduled refresh the errors will be gone if configured properly.
Thank you @KRM7, for your response. The errors have indeed disappeared. By the way, could you please tell me where I can find the scheduled refresh task details?

Thank you Krishna garu.
Creating an identity profile turns a source into an authoritative source. It also means that any accounts aggregated from this source become identities, and any other accounts aggregated for those users can be associated with their identities- Found this statement in SailPoint documentation.
Yes, that is true. Even if you don’t mark it as Authoritative while creating the source, once an Identity Profile is created for the same source, authoritative flag will update to true, I have tested this already.
However, as I mentioned already, there is no significance of these attribute at the moment except giving a warning in source config page that Identity Profile is missing (if not created already). I wouldn’t worry about this.
