Aggregation Overview

Loading account data into Identity Security Cloud aggregates source accounts and their associated access into the system so they can be governed. To load or aggregate account data into Identity Security Cloud, you need to create one or more sources, which can be either direct connections or flat file feeds.

Account data for flat file sources can be manually uploaded at any time to aggregate the changes to those accounts. You need to consecutively load flat file feeds for multiple sources.

If you start aggregations for multiple direct connect sources, Identity Security Cloud will place them in a queue and process them in the order that you load the files or start the aggregations. You can monitor the aggregation progress on the System Activity panel of the Admin Dashboard.

You can also configure supported sources to use delta aggregation, which updates only those accounts on the source that have changed. For more information, refer to Configuring Delta Aggregations for Supported Sources.
