Earlier we sent the full name to the target application, later we modified the logic, now we are sending only the first name. But there are some users who need to modify the name. Example Schema attribute is identity attribute Then identity attribute is fullname Now identity attribute is first name So how can I Modify existing users, if yes is there any impact, are they access like before ---

ok, depending of type of connector you must implement the update provisioning. For example, for AD you can create only the update prov. form, instead for a JDBC connector you must create\modify the provisioning rule. Also, you can use the identity target mapping. > [@sureshbommareddy98](#): > > if yes is there any impact you can update all the account or only a subset. If you want update only a part you can refresh only the idenities that you need or using a before provisioning rule and delete all the request that you dont want execute. [There](https://community.sailpoint.com/t5/IdentityIQ-Product-Guides/8-4-IdentityIQ-Provisioning-Guide/ta-p/240706) you can find the doc of provisioning. ---

Hello @sureshbommareddy98 , If you’re using target mappings, you can run a refresh for the required users. It will take care of updating. You can implement a one-time utility to update the attributes in the target application. Thanks, ---
