Initiates configuration objects import job

POST 
/sp-config/import
experimental

This API is currently in an experimental state. The API is subject to change based on feedback and further testing. You must include the X-SailPoint-Experimental header and set it to true to use this endpoint.

This post will import objects from a JSON configuration file into a tenant. By default, every import will first export all existing objects supported by sp-config as a backup before the import is attempted. The backup is provided so that the state of the configuration prior to the import is available for inspection or restore if needed. The backup can be skipped by setting "excludeBackup" to true in the import options. If a backup is performed, the id of the backup will be provided in the ImportResult as the "exportJobId". This can be downloaded using the /sp-config/export/{exportJobId}/download endpoint. You cannot currently import from the Non-Employee Lifecycle Management (NELM) source. You cannot use this endpoint to back up or store NELM data. For more information about the object types that currently support import functionality, refer to SaaS Configuration. The request will need the following security scope:

  • sp:config:manage
