Unable to Fetch Orphan/Uncorrelated Accounts Using ISC Search API

Hi everyone,

I’m working as an ISC SailPoint Developer and recently worked on generating an Orphan/Uncorrelated Accounts Report.

My requirement is to retrieve all uncorrelated (orphan) accounts and send a scheduled email report to the operations team. Initially, I planned to achieve this using the ISC Search API. However, after going through the documentation, I found that the Search API does not seem to support fetching uncorrelated/orphan accounts.

My questions are:

  1. Is there currently any API or supported approach to retrieve all uncorrelated/orphan accounts programmatically?
  2. Are there any recommended alternatives for automating this report and emailing it on a schedule?
  3. Is support for searching uncorrelated accounts planned for a future release of the Search API?

I’d appreciate any guidance or best practices from anyone who has implemented a similar solution.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @mohammedasim412

Accounts API list-accounts supports filtering uncorrelated accounts and pagination parameters.

You can use external schedule job, csv then email.

Thanks

You are right, the Search API does not expose uncorrelated as a searchable field, so that won’t work here. For your use case, the List Accounts API (GET /v3/accounts) is what you need. It supports uncorrelated as a filterable field with the eq operator. The call looks like this:

GET /v3/accounts?filters=uncorrelated eq true&limit=250&offset=0&count=true

To scope it to a specific source:

GET /v3/accounts?filters=uncorrelated eq true and sourceId eq "<sourceId>"&limit=250&offset=0&count=true

Max page size is 250, so you will need to paginate with offset if there are more records. The count=true gives you the X-Total-Count header so you know how many total records to expect.

For the scheduling part, I think ISC doesn’t have a built-in way to email uncorrelated account reports on a schedule. You can try using an external scheduled job (cron, Azure Function, AWS Lambda, whatever fits your stack) that calls the API, builds a CSV, and emails it out.

HI @mohammedasim412

From ISC UI, you can follow the below steps to download the uncorrelated accounts report.

Assigning Source Accounts to Identities - SailPoint Identity Services

Another way is to follow the below steps:

Use Admin > Identity Management > Accounts > Uncorrelated Accounts for viewing the uncorrelated accounts for a specific application.
