I have a correlation rule that will link the account to the proper identity and return a blank map if it does not, however the default correlation always runs regardless. Is there a way to bypass that effectively?

Hey @ryan_toornburg

Unfortunately, there is not currently a way to disable the default correlation rule. There is an idea for this feature in SailPoint Ideas you can vote for: [Make it possible to disable the default | SailPoint Ideas Portal](https://ideas.sailpoint.com/ideas/GOV-I-1936)

Your best bet right now would be to try and come up with a workaround: try and correlate accounts prior to the default correlation getting invoked, change your ‘Account Name’ attribute to something else that avoids this correlation, a more drastic option is to change your identity displayName to something else.

Not great answers I know, but this is a fairly common complaint from folks.

Thank you,

- Zach

Thanks @zachm117 - I figured that was the case. Thanks for the clarification and I will definitely vote!
