Hi All, I’m trying to achieve a use-case where I’ve created a new identity attribute called “isManager” in the Identity Profile. I want to write a transform logic which would calculate if that identity is a manager or not? Later, I want to use this identity attribute as a membership criteria for a …

^ What he said :joy: Hey @Arshad , You can use this to get the true/false value back in a transform: { "name": "Identity is manager", "type": "static", "attributes": { "value": "$identity.getManagerStatus()" } }

Maybe you can Achieve this using the following transform and Rule on ISC: [REDACTED] Got to test it see if works!

Hey @ipobeidi I’m also trying to understand how this transform would work, when the identity attribute itself on which this transform would be applied is “isManager” ? And the reference is also pointing to the same.

Yeah it does not seem to work. My bad. This is a lsot opportunity for Sailpoint, we could query whatever we want with the QueryOptions. else { QueryOptions qo = new QueryOptions(); qo.addFilter(Filter.eq("uid", uid)); Iterator it = context.search(Identity.class, qo); if (it…

I imagined that this was blocked on the Static, but i guess we can query identity then

There is quite a bit you can do with the $identity context. I’ve written a doc on it here Identity Attribute Context in Transforms | SailPoint Developer Community Examples on how you might use the identity attribute context. Really anything in the sailpoint…

When I was looking for something I could use in Role criteria, I started from the search query “isManager:true ” and found the $identity variable. It took a while, wish your documents would’ve come up in my investigation.

Thank you @tyler_mairose @kwhipple @ipobeidi for your responses, this helps.

I am using this same transform and in almost all cases it works, but I have a couple identities that were previously managers and now are not and with this solution it is returning a false positive. Any notion on how the status is derived and how often it is updated?
