Team, Here I tried to create one transform for one of the attribute for Entra-ID but it is throwing error, request got failed when I tried to provision for one of test-account when I checked the account activity, I saw value where my custom transform being used in the value is not being passed into account attribute where my custom transform is being used, Same transform I used in ID profile it worked fine, Now I am wondering what wrong is In this transform for provisioning.

I am trying to get [firstname.lastname@domainnam.com](mailto:firstname.lastname@domainnam.com)

‘All into lower’

“transform”: {  
“type”: “lower”,  
“attributes”: {  
“type”: “concat”,  
“attributes”: {  
“values”: [  
{  
“attributes”: {  
“name”: “firstname”  
},  
“type”: “identityAttribute”  
},  
“.”,  
{  
“attributes”: {  
“name”: “lastname”  
},  
“type”: “identityAttribute”  
},  
“@DemoExample.com”  
]  
}  
}  
}

if you find any issue here, Please post your comnment

Hi Gagan, It seems like U are using the custom transform for the UserPrincipalname filed, instead of that why don’t u use the generator Create Unique Account ID with pattern $(firstname).$(lastname)$(uniqueCounter)@yourdomain.onmicrosoft.com

            }
        }
    },
    "name": "ID Generator Transform"
}

```

Try the transform above.

Ideally you shoud be using the "[Username Generator | SailPoint Developer Community](https://developer.sailpoint.com/docs/extensibility/transforms/operations/username-generator) transform along with uniqueCounter for this.

Thanks Krishna, but here I am using this transform for provisioning, as per documentation what I understood that it can only access Identity attributes, Anyways when I tried the exact transform it worked.  
Thanks Krishna 🙂

Thanks @sharvari it worked!, now provisioning got successful, what I missed in my transform input { , I am not sure why do we need to add input here if we are directly taking values from identity attribute not specifically mentioning anything in inputs. May be I need to do more readings on understanding Implicit and Explicit inputs, Thanks a lot Sharvari 🙂

Yes, I missed it, indeed it is at Provisioning side.

At Identity Profile side, you should not use Identity attribute transform, at provisioning side, you can.

You should use Generator for uniqueness.
