Provisioning Policy

The SCIM 2.0 SaaS connector supports provisioning, allowing you to create and manage accounts and entitlements in SCIM 2.0 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

You can create an account configuration based on a SCIM 2.0 compliant server. The provisioning operation can update the attribute value to a blank value.

The SCIM 2.0 SaaS source performs provisioning after regenerating an access token.

The SCIM 2.0 SaaS source encodes the JSON during provisioning operations with special characters.

Caution

The SCIM 2.0 SaaS source provides the default Create Account configuration as illustrative purpose. However, SailPoint recommends that you work with Services to define a Create Account configuration specific to your company's needs.
