Directly Adding a Manager in ISC NERM

How do we add a NEW user as a Manager in NERM for testing in sandbox environment?

Hi,

This topic is already discussed in this post Display ISC manager information to NERM - Identity Security Cloud (ISC) / ISC Discussion and Questions - SailPoint Developer Community

You could do it via API, submit-user-manager | SailPoint Developer Community for testing. If you are using NERM Users connector, you can use that to establish user manager relationship.

In SailPoint NERM sandbox, easiest way is:

  1. Go to Admin → System → Users

  2. Import a CSV or manually create the user

  3. Assign the user a NERM Manager role

  4. Add them under the user’s Managers tab if needed

For testing manager selection specifically, most teams:

  • create a business role like NERM Manager

  • assign it using isManager = true

  • aggregate it into ISC/NERM for dropdown visibility

If you want faster testing, API works too:

  • Create user API

  • Then create user-manager relationship API
