Provisioning

The Box connector supports provisioning, allowing you to create and manage accounts and entitlements in Box 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

The following generators create the information required for a new Box account. You may need to edit the contents.

Note

Parameters marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory.

Account Attribute Generator Description
name* Display Name Name for the enterprise user.
login* Work Email Login ID of the enterprise user.
space_amount Static Space to be allocated to the user in gigabytes.
unlimited Static Unlimited space amount.
role Static Box user role as co-administrator/user.
status Disable Enabled or disabled status for the user.

Provision Tracking Codes

Before you can provision tracking codes to the Box source, you must add them to the account schema. For more information, refer to Custom Attributes.

The Box connector supports provisioning of tracking codes for the following operations:

  • Create
  • Update

Important

The provisioning process will fail if you do not follow these rules:

  • Use only the format given in these instructions to add the tracking code to the account schema:

    tracking_code.<name_from_Box_system>

  • The tracking code's values and labels are both case-sensitive.

  • The tracking code label should be exactly as it is in the managed system.
