To connect SailPoint with Identity Security Cloud Governance, perform the following tasks:

Adding the Source in SailPoint

To connect to SailPoint, perform the following steps. Once the connection is made, you can configure it to meet your company's needs.

  5. In the Source Name field, enter a unique and descriptive name for your source. Source names cannot exceed 128 characters.
  6. In the Description field, provide additional details about the source to help distinguish it from similar sources. This field allows a maximum of 2,000 characters.
  7. In the Source Owner field, begin typing the name of an owner. Matches appear after you type two or more letters. For more information, refer to Assigning a Source Owner.
  8. (Optional) Select a governance group to grant its members source or role sub-admin level oversight of the source and its access. For more information, refer to Creating and Managing Governance Groups.
  9. If this source represents a primary system containing your organization's personnel records, select the Authoritative Source checkbox. For more information, refer to Creating Identity Profiles.
  10. Select Continue. The source is created, and you are navigated to the Source Setup > Base Configuration page. Continue to configure your connected source there.

Reassignment Settings

  1. Select the Objects and Tasks owned by a user to reassign to their Identity Manager after the governance account user is disabled. Your selections apply to all objects and tasks of that type.

    Note

    The Pending Request Decisions checkbox reassigns access request decisions (approvals) only if the disabled user is also the owner of an access item, such as an access profile.

  2. Select Save.

Note

To ensure the effective functioning of reassignment, it is essential for the identities to have a direct line manager. Without this, the objects and tasks cannot be reassigned.

  1. Go to Review and Test.

  2. Confirm that the entries in each field are correct.

    If you note any mistakes, return to the section and make corrections.
