Set Manually isManager attribute

Identity Security Cloud (ISC) ISC Discussion and Questions

Hi All

Is there a way to assign the value of the isManager identity attribute, via API or otherwise?
Searching through the V3 and Beta APIs I can’t find a way to perform this action.

Thanks
Regards

Hi Victor can you expand on the use case you’re trying to service?

AFAIK, isManager is an internal attribute and the value depends on whether the identity was aggregated under the manager correlation rule from the authoritative source.

Hi @vmingo,

If you are looking to get the value assigned to users, a transform as below would work and will return true/false based on the manager status of the user :

{
    "name": "Is Manager",
    "type": "static",
    "attributes": {
        "value": "$identity.getManagerStatus()"
    }
}

We have several Identities identified by the client that we need mark as manager in IdentityNow and which are currently not. We need to know if it is possible modify this identity Attribute

Thanks

Hi Jesvin,

No , we need the opposite. Try to set to true the isManager attribute for some identities
Thanks

Hi Victor, as was stated above, isManager is an internal ISC attribute which is enabled once the user has a direct report from the authoritative source. There is not a way to manually enable that flag.

Only way that can be done is via Auth Source or by changing the data , There is no way on ISC to enable IsManager flag.

Hi @vmingo,

If you have enabled the manager correlation in the authoritative source, the isManager value should automatically get populated based on the availability of reportees. The isManager attribute has it’s own relevance and you wouldn’t want to alter that.

If you want to tag users as managers who doesn’t have reportees, consider creating a new transform and tag a new Identity attribute as Manager - Y/N if there is any source value that could indicate if the user needs to be tagged as a manger or not.

Or you can consider using a separate csv file to load that info and assign it to the new Identity attribute.

That way, you can have the identity attribute tagging available to be used in any other configurations.

Hi, thank you for you suggestion

Finally we have chosen the option to create a new identity attribute and load by csv those identities that should have the value to true in this new attribute, as you suggested.

THanks

Regards
