Updating Emergency Access Admins - SailPoint Identity Services

Emergency access administrators can log into a system experiencing connectivity problems and make changes. These admins are listed in an identity profile that uses a flat file source as its account source. Different types of users can be listed in a flat file source, however, users who are admins listed in a flat file source have special emergency access admin privileges. Emergency access admins can sign in when your site is having connectivity problems because they come from a flat file source, so they can troubleshoot and repair problems.

A few corrections to article… Updating Emergency Access Administrators List

  • Step 2 says “Select or edit the Identity Security Cloud Administrators source.” but our newly-provisioned environment has the source name IDN Administrator.
  • Step 8 says “Under Upload Accounts, select the Upload icon …” but current environment has Import Accounts instead of Upload Accounts
