## We are using the Targeted Certification to handle our Transfer Certification (New manager certifies an ID should continue to have access) process. Currently, when a certification is created if the ID being certified has multiple accounts (Primary and Secondary) the entitlements are the only thing that displays the Primary or Secondary Account information. Example —- (look at the Account Name) | First Name | Last Name | Type | Display Name | Description | Application | Account Name | Identity | Business Application Name | Privileged Entitlement | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Jane | Doe | Entitlement | Entitlement 1 | Entitlement 1 Description | Windows | def1234 | Jane Doe | | | | John | Doe | Entitlement | Entitlement 2 | Entitlement 2 Description | Windows | abc1234 | John Doe | | | ## We would like to see this same behavior for the Roles area of the certification. Are there any configurations to allow for this to happen? ---

I believe account name would not show on the main page of the certification for the roles but the account name is available for review by clicking the 3 bars located on right end as shown below: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sailpoint/original/3X/6/0/6050d5e6813d9a6ec1bf88dd6acccdcef7c3c91a.png) ---

Hi @Bradlabs12 We cannot populate account name by default as Roles are associated directly to Identity rather than an application account. However you can see the role, entitlement and account details in the certification. ---

I knew that the Account Name was available on the 3 dots…. but if you can see that information there, it should be available to display on the main area of the Certification too. Most if not all users completing the certification are going to miss those details since it is not on the main page. Thanks for the help ---

You can create an Certification Extended attribute, populate it with account name and can show it in main page of certification. You have to also add that attribute in UI config of certifications page ---

We have values for the “Account Name” and “RoleAccountNames” in the uiTargetedCertificationItemDetailViewColumns section of the UIConfig area. in the ObjectConfig, there is not a Certification object…. Where should we be adding the Extended Attribution information? ---

You have to configure it in CertificationItemExtended.hbm.xml file in your IIQ server and populate that value using certification rules ---

Hi Harshith, What would be the ruletype for the certification rule and any sample format available for it? ---
