Provisioning Additional Attributes in SAP SuccessFactors Using the ODATA API

[xuan_chen]

Hi Experts,

I am following the guide here: Provisioning Additional Attributes Using the ODATA API
for updating some SuccessFactors User attributes, e.g. User.email via ODATA API. but always got error saying “Provisioning operation is not applicable for User.emal attribute.”.
Does anyone know what I am missing here?

Cheers,

Xuan

Hi @xuan_chen,

May be that’s not allowed for User.email attribute from ODATA API. But you can try using attribute sync option in you Success Factors (OOTB) source. Please find a reference document.

thanks for the reply. The ODATA API allows the update. It is marked are SAP:upsertable. I think the error message is rather indicating it is not allowed on the IDN side.
I’ve tried the attribute sync function. This is the way how I am testing it. But I always the error message “Provisioning operation is not applicable for User.emal attribute”

I’ve found the solution. To be able to update the User.Email or other user entity related attributes, you need to choose the users in the account type to manage section.
