Dataset Management

Dataset Management lets you review the object types a source collects and control how the source aggregates those objects into SailPoint. Use Dataset Management to view and manage resource attributes, datasets and their resources, enable dataset aggregation schedules, perform manual aggregation, and view aggregation history.

Note

Datasets are also available in SailPoint Agentic Fabric. Contact your Customer Success team and refer to SailPoint Agentic Fabric for more information.

For more information, refer to Managing Datasets and Resources for datasets, resources, owner correlation, and aggregation.

Datasets

A dataset is a named group of one or more related resources that the source aggregates together.

When aggregation runs for a dataset, the source collects all resources in that dataset from the managed system in one aggregation job. Activate or deactivate aggregation at the dataset level, not for individual resources.

Note

Each resource belongs to exactly one dataset for that source. The source defines which resources belong to each dataset. You can enable aggregation and review associated resources, but you cannot create or delete datasets or move resources between them.

Dataset Aggregation

Configure aggregation on the Dataset Aggregations tab for each dataset. Configure each dataset separately. During aggregation, your owner correlation rules are automatically applied to link machine identities to their human owners. For more information, refer to Configuring Dataset Aggregations.

Resources

A resource defines an object type from the managed system. It specifies the kind of object, the attributes the source collects, and how the source identifies and displays each object. Resources form the building blocks of the data model.

In the UI, each resource appears under Dataset Management > Resources with its schema. A resource does not run aggregation by itself. The dataset that owns the resource collects it during aggregation.

For more information, refer to Managing Resources.

Owner Correlation

Configure owner correlation on each resource to link aggregated objects to human owners. If you do not configure owner correlation, or if the mapping produces no match, an owner is not assigned. For more information, refer to Configuring Owner Correlation.

Supported Datasets

Go to Dataset Management > Datasets on your Slack SaaS source to view the datasets the connector aggregates. Select a dataset to review its associated resources and configure aggregation.

Note

Configure aggregation for each dataset separately. For more information, refer to Dataset Aggregation.

The connector collects Slack Bots in a separate dataset for machine identity governance. Human Slack users remain in the existing SCIM account aggregation.

  • License - idn:machine-identity-security
  • Schedule - Every 12 hours (0 */12 * * *)
  • Command - std:resource:list
Dataset name Dataset ID Associated resources Required license Default schedule
Slack Bots slack:bots Slack Bot Machine Identity Security Every 12 hours

For information about the Slack Bot resource and its schema, refer to Supported Resources and Slack Bot Attributes.

To aggregate the dataset manually, go to Dataset Management > Datasets > Slack Bots, and then select Start Aggregation.

Supported Resources

A resource represents a type of object the connector collects from Slack. Each resource defines the attributes collected for that object type and how each object appears in SailPoint.

For more information, refer to Managing Resources.

Note

When you enable dataset aggregation for a selected dataset, all resources in that dataset are collected at once. Activate or deactivate aggregation at the dataset level, not for individual resources.

Go to Dataset Management > Resources on your Slack SaaS source to view each object type the connector aggregates. Select a resource to review its schema on the Schema tab.

Resource name Resource type Resource ID Identity attribute Display attribute Classification
Slack Bot std:account slack:bot id name machine

For the complete Slack Bot resource schema, refer to Slack Bot Attributes.

Account Subtype

After you create or refresh the source, the Non-Human Identity processor provisions a system-managed source subtype with the technical name slack:bot and the display name Slack Bot. The connector does not emit the subtype.

  • Machine accounts appear under Non-Human Identities > Accounts.
  • Machine accounts do not appear in the source Account Management > Accounts list. That list shows SCIM human accounts.

Important

Do not add Slack Bot attributes to the source Account Schema. The Account Schema remains the SCIM user schema.

Default Owner Correlation

The Slack Bot resource includes the following default primary correlation. You can change it on the Owner Correlation tab of the resource. For more information, refer to Owner Correlation.

Setting Value
Attribute type Human Identity
Schema attribute slackAdministratorEmail
Transform None
Human Identity attribute email
Sync to Machine Accounts Cleared

Additional Owners is empty by default.

Slack Bot Attributes

Use the following schema attributes for the Slack Bot resource in the Slack Bots dataset.

  • Account ID - id, the Slack bot ID that starts with B.
  • Display attribute - name, taken from profile.real_name.
Attribute Type Description
id string Slack bot ID that starts with B. This attribute is the native identity of the machine account.
name string Slack bot display name from profile.real_name.
alwaysActive boolean Whether Slack reports the bot as always active.
enterpriseName string Slack enterprise organization name from enterprise_user.enterprise_name, when present.
workspace string Workspace name from team.info. The connector falls back to the auth.test team name.
updated string Last profile update as an ISO-8601 timestamp. Slack does not return the bot creation date on users.list.
spStatus string Normalized lifecycle status, either Active or Inactive, derived from the Slack member deleted value.
spEnvironment string Workspace name used as the environment label.
slackAdministratorName string Display name of the workspace administrator. The connector uses the primary owner, then the owner, then the admin.
slackAdministratorEmail string Email of that workspace administrator. The connector uses this attribute as the default owner correlation key.
managementUrl string URL used to manage the bot in Slack: https://{team.domain}.slack.com/services/{userId}?settings=1.
