Hello Team,
Could anyone please help me regarding the below scenario?
We’ve 2 attributes in IdentityNow. For example, ‘Seq_ID’ and ‘Total_list’. We’ve to set Seq_ID initial value as 50,000 and build a logic for Total_list.
Logic: Seq_ID +( P+1). where P is total number of users in IdentityNow. For eg, if there are 700 users in IdentityNow then Total_list in identityNow should be : 50,000+700+1 i.e 50,701.
Can we build it using transform/rule? Please suggest
This sounds like a rule. Transforms don’t have the ability to query data in IDN, like total number of identities. @tyler_mairose do you have any thoughts on this?
Hello @Mane1,
I agree with @colin_mckibben here. You will not be able to implement this with a transform. I have a few suggestions you can try and implement.
You could use an AccountAttributeProfileRule https://community.sailpoint.com/t5/IdentityNow-Articles/IdentityNow-Rule-Guide-Account-Profile-Attribute-Generator/ta-p/77347 and call the countAccounts using the IDNRuleUtil Using IDNRuleUtil as a Wrapper for Common Rule Operations - Compass to then get your total users for the application.
If the source you are interacting with is a web service, you could use a web service before provisioning rule. The Public Identities API with count=true will return the total number of users.
I would like to know more about your use-case for this generated id. I am also wondering if this can be accomplished a different way with our Username Generator Transform and the {uniqueCounter}.
Hi @tyler_mairose ,
Thank you very much. Our use case is we need to create one attribute in IdentityNow where it should have the value of : Seq_ID +(p+1). i.e intial value we can set to a number. and p is total no.of users in IdentityNow. It should also satisfy according to current date. for example, today total users in IdentityNow = 50, i.e Seq_ID +(50+1). After 7 days etc, if IDN total users count increased to 75 then it should be : Seq_ID+(75+1).
Kind Regards
Mane
