Updating Identity attribute Value using API

Identity Security Cloud (ISC) ISC Discussion and Questions

Hi, Is there a SailPoint ISC API that allows direct updates to identity attribute values for a specific identity?
Need to update an identity attribute value based on incoming workflow payload.

No, You can’t update for a specific Identity in SailPoint isc

Hi @sandyd

Can you expand a bit on your usecase which you’re trying to acheive

4

Need to update an identity attribute value based on the incoming payload and send it to SNOW account using attribute sync.

If you have SNOW API, try to PATCH the account attribute value via workflow. This is one of the possible workaround. Directly you can’t able to update an identity attribute.

Is this attribute is already managed by an authoritative source ?

If not, one solution can be :

  • Create a delimited file source with that or those attributes
  • In your identity Profile map the attributes with Identity Attributes and configure sync with snow attributes
  • you should then reconcilate those attributes all your identities that should have the value (CSV import on your delimited source)
  • Then with api or combination of worflow + form you can manage attribute via account api on your delimited source. Any update attribute there ==> update automatically the associated Identity Attributes ==> Which sync with SNOn corresponding attribute.

Thanks.

You cannot update the identity attribute through the API, but try the solution steps added by @baoussounda . This will work.
