Integrating SailPoint with Generic Flat File

Revised Date: 15 October 2025

This document is designed to give specific information about the requirements and field definitions needed to get a working instance of a Generic Flat File source in Identity Security Cloud. This is an integration between a Flat File source and Identity Security Cloud that reads data from a file. The file contains all the relevant information about the accounts.

The Generic Flat File connector is a general-purpose tool used to load user account information from CSV files. It supports some account provisioning operations and Access Certifications (certification of entitlements connected to accounts), but only if those features are activated for your site. Generally, this connector is used as a read-only connector.

Note
You also have the option to use Delimited File Source Configuration Reference Guide.
