Integrating SailPoint with Robotic Process Automation Platforms

The SailPoint Robotic Process Automation (RPA) connector provides a solution for managing identities in applications that lack modern APIs or have limited integration capabilities.

By leveraging Robotic Process Automation (RPA) platforms, you can automate identity lifecycle management for:

  • Legacy mainframe systems
  • Applications with web-only interfaces
  • Homegrown business applications
  • Vendor systems without API support
  • On-premise applications requiring UI automation

High Level Architecture

This architecture diagram illustrates the core components of the Robotic Process Automation connector.

RPA connector architecture diagram

  1. SailPoint uses the RPA connector to request identity data for aggregation or request changes for provisioning.
  2. The RPA connector communicates to the RPA platform (e.g., UiPath) to run jobs or read data.
  3. The RPA platform runs bots/processes that connect to the disconnected applications. In doing so, it collects or updates the identity-related data from the disconnected applications as requested.
  4. Finally, the data or status flows back: Disconnected application > RPA Platform > RPA Connector > SailPoint.

Supported Features

The connector supports the features listed on this page.

Test Connection

Test connections between SailPoint and the RPA platform before putting it into production.

Account Aggregation

Retrieve user account data from disconnected applications.

  • API-based data collection
  • File-based data collection

Entitlement Aggregation

Retrieve entitlement data from disconnected applications.

  • API-based data collection
  • File-based data collection

Account Provisioning

Execute account lifecycle operations by triggering RPA workflows particular to triggered operations. The connector supports the following operations:

  • Create Account
  • Update Account
  • Delete Account
  • Enable/Disable Account
  • Add/Remove Entitlement

Supported RPA Platforms

The SailPoint Robotic Process Automation connector can connect SailPoint to the following RPA platforms:

  • UiPath (Cloud)
  • Automation Anywhere (Cloud)

Required Permissions
