Processing Identity Data - SailPoint Identity Services

When changes occur to identity data or access model configurations (identity profiles, roles, access profiles, or applications), corresponding access for your identities may also need to change. These changes happen through identity processing, which can be initiated in response to events, scheduled, or executed manually.


This is the companion discussion topic for the documentation at https://documentation.sailpoint.com/saas/help/setup/identity_processing.html

Hello Team,

Small type - “If the the value for Next Processing” - Please remove the extra “the”

@arjun_sengupta thanks for letting us know! I’ve updated that page to fix that typo.

Overall really great overview and super helpful!

In the section about Time-Based Processing (Processing Identity Data - SailPoint Identity Services), there is a “Transform” reference:

What is displayed here is not really a Transform that you can take and deploy to your tenant.

Most engineers will probably look at this and realize that this is pseudo code or an evaluation that came from somewhere with predefined variables, date format handling and other error handling placed somewhere “out of view”, but for ‘absolute’ beginners, this will be confusing.

I don’t want to make this section sound harder than it is, so maybe something like the below would be clearer:

For example, a Transform built to represent the logic below evaluates the startDate and endDate attributes and selects the earliest future date:

[ pseudo code here ]

If I had to link to one page of the Transforms documentation to support this, it would be the Static transform instead of the ‘generic’ Transforms Overview Documentation, as this seems to be most in line with the kind of evaluation from the ‘Transform’ above: Static | SailPoint Developer Community

Hi @J_Hauser! Thanks for your feedback! I’ve created a ticket to review the Transforms example and make it clearer.

Thank you Rachel! Much appreciated.

Troubleshooting an issue we are having, I found this great resource from the developer forum: Time-based identity refresh - Content / Video Library - SailPoint Developer Community

It has some example transforms and examples on how the output is expected to look like. This might be a great resource to refer to.

Thanks, @J_Hauser! I’ve added that link to our ticket. I see one of our writers has picked it up and started investigating. Thank you for helping to improve the docs!
