Provisioning
The AWS connector supports provisioning, allowing you to create and manage accounts and entitlements in AWS directly from SailPoint.
Prerequisite: Your system is configured for provisioning.
When SailPoint provisions new accounts to the source, it uses the attributes on the Create Account page as instructions or a template for what to include in the account. This page is also referred to as the provisioning policy.
When new access is granted on a source where a user does not already have an account, SailPoint automatically includes account creation in the provisioning. This applies whether provisioning is started from an access request or from an automated role or lifecycle state assignment.
For direct-connect sources, SailPoint automatically creates the account from this configuration. If the source is not configured as a direct-connect source, SailPoint creates and assigns a provisioning task to the source owner and includes the values for the source owner to use in manually creating the account.
Important
This section describes the default Create Account configuration. SailPoint recommends that you work with Services to define a provisioning configuration specific to your company's needs. Be sure to verify large changes to the provisioning policy before implementation. Failure to do so might cause provisioning to fail.
Default Create Account Attributes
| Account Attribute | Generator | Description |
|---|---|---|
| UserName | Identity Attribute | The user name as taken from the SailPoint user name. |
| password | Create Password | This generator creates an initial password for the new AWS account that matches the password policy assigned to the associated AWS source in SailPoint. |
| AccountId | Disabled | The Account ID or ARN of the AWS Account under which the IAM user is to be created. Note: By default, this attribute is 'Disabled', you can set it as per your requirement. For example, you can set it to 'Static' and provide the AWS Account ID or ARN in which you want to create an IAM user. |
| AccessKey | Static | The Access key associated with a user. |
| PasswordResetRequired | Static | Indication for user to create a new password. Note: Users automatically get the IAMUserChangePassword policy to allow them to change their own password. |
