Hi all,

Is there a way to skip the creation of an identity Cube during aggregation? Something besides Customization rule?

Thanks in advance

Hi @rishavghoshacc,

if return null into the customization rule, the identity will be not created.

@rishavghoshacc ,  
If you are trying to aggregate nonauthoritative sources, you can check the prosperity in the aggregation task “Only create links if they can be correlated to an existing identity.”

If you need an authoritative source, you can return a null resource object for specific conditions or call object.setDelete(true) before returning the resource object.

Thank you  
Siva

</div>

please try the below code and see

```auto
String fileNumber="FILENUMBER";
String empId = object.getAttribute(fileNumber);
  if (Util.isNotNullOrEmpty(empId)){
    if (empId.equalsIgnoreCase("xxxxxx")){
      return null;
    }
  }
  
return object;

```

Hi @rishavghoshacc, please make sure you have the following signature in the customization rule

 ![custom](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sailpoint/original/3X/4/b/4b03e449146f599d0cc6dec94c5e5a2ed5b7f05e.png)

and can use String workerId = object.getStringAttribute(“FILENUMBER”);

try to return null directly instead of assigning an object to null.

I hope you have been using the Account Aggregation Task.

Thank you.
