Hi @kalyannambi2010 You can not use Search to get source Account schemas and their values but you can use API for it. > **[get-source-schemas | SailPoint Developer Community](https://developer.sailpoint.com/docs/api/v2024/get-source-schemas)** > > \ **Author:** ![system](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sailpoint/original/2X/f/f2136700ed5e3703e0b85e02f6be799dacca7735.png) [@system](https://developer.sailpoint.com/discuss/u/system)\ **Post date:** [June 21, 2025, 7:06am UTC](https://developer.sailpoint.com/discuss/t/search-source-account-attrubutes-in-seach/114175/7 "2025-06-21T07:06:57Z") This topic was automatically closed 60 days after the last reply.
