I need a search to extract the identities with have more than 4 sources, a search like:

“attributes.cloudLifecycleState:“active” AND sourceCount:\>4”

But I’m not find the sourceCount, if I use accountCount works from accounts, but I need for the source.

It’s possible?

Tks

Hi Eduardo,

According to the [documentation for search](https://documentation.sailpoint.com/saas/help/search/searchable-fields.html#first-level-fields-for-identities), `accountCount` is the number of sources the identity has an account on. This should work for your use case. Are you experiencing issues with using `accountCount` to gauge the number of sources an identity is on?
