Hide/mask identity attribute

Hi, I am facing an scenario where I read some attribute from HR, and use later for provisioning other sources. This is a personal id of the user, and goverment regulations does not allow systems to have it visible on screen.

As identity fields does not hide attributes, is there a workaround for this? I though to cipher the id value in an identity rule, and then decrypt on connector rules. But I would like to see your opinion, so perhaps I am missing a easier way.

My suggestion would be NOT to use such an attribute from HR. Find an alternative :slight_smile:

Yes it would be ideal, but it is used as a mandatory attribute for user creation in the systems connected to idn. They do not want to enter it manually, out from idn circuit.

Is it a Cloud based HR system or is it On Prem such as PeopleSoft?

If on-Prem I would think you should be able to hash it at least through a rule. But this again wouldn’t be recommended.

If they were to ask their legal counsel what they thought of the Idea, more than likely they would suggest finding a different unique identifier. The down-stream risk isn’t worth it in my opinion. Best to fix it now than to have to rearchitect it later.
