[IdentityNow] Manager DN Transform for AD Create Policy

Hello @JamesMcClartyEY,

I believe the manager correlation has to be set on the authoritative source for the $identity.getManager() to return the manager successfully.

I tested this in my environment using a Delimited source.

The source info looks like:

id email first_name last_name hire_date manager
100010 [email protected] Lewis hamilton 2020-12-12
100011 [email protected] Frank Williams 2020-07-10 100010
100012 [email protected] Paddy Lowe 2020-09-20

The correlation is set Employee Number → manager where id in the table above is mapped to Employee Number.

I can then use the transform to get that managers attributes. When I am testing out and developing transforms I use the cc preview API.

I can test this out by retrieving the id of the employee whose manager’s attribute I want to pull and providing the transform to test.

{
    "attributeTransforms": [
        {
            "attributeName": "personalEmail",
            "type": "static",
            "attributes": {
                "value": "$identity.getManager().getAttribute('email')"
            }
        }
    ]
}

The response returned will look similar to below, there will be quite a lot more preview attributes. You can search for the attributeName you provided above, I used personalEmail.

{
    "displayName": "Frank",
    "id": "2c918085840ffd580184155e40ea0966",
    "meta": {
        "created": "2022-10-26T17:36:49+00:00",
        "modified": "2023-06-26T00:08:19+00:00",
        "type": "identityProfiles"
    },
    "name": "Frank",
    "previewAttributes": [
        {
            "messages": null,
            "name": "personalEmail",
            "previousValue": null,
            "value": "[email protected]"
        },
    ]
}

The getReferenceIdentityAttribute from the Cloud Services Deployment Utility uses the same code to retrieve the manager identity so it does need to be correlated.
