Managing User Accounts in Identity Security Cloud

You can create a source within Identity Security Cloud to manage users who have an account within Non-Employee Risk Management. This connector can also be used to manage their Non-Employee Risk Management roles by aggregating them as entitlements.

Notes

  • This source aggregates and manages lifecycle users, rather than profiles or portal users. Non-employee and assignment profiles, as well as portal users, can be managed with a profile management source.

Prerequisites:

  • Create and copy an API key from Non-Employee Risk Management to use within Identity Security Cloud.

    Best Practice

    Use a separate API key for each Non-Employee Risk Management source you create.

To create a user-management source in Identity Security Cloud:

  1. Within Identity Security Cloud, go to Admin > Connections > Sources

  2. Select Create New.

  3. Find the SailPoint Non-Employee Risk Management Users source type and select Configure.

  4. Enter a source name.

  5. Enter a description for your source.

  6. In the Source Owner field, begin typing the name of an owner. Matches appear after you type two letters.

  7. (Optional) Select a governance group for source management.

    Important

    Marking this source as authoritative is not recommended.

  8. Select Continue.

  9. Select Configuration in the left panel.

  10. In the API Key field, enter the API key you saved within Non-Employee Risk Management for this source.

  11. In the Non-Employee Risk Management Tenant Domain field, enter the URL for your tenant.

  12. Select Save.

  13. Select Review and Test.

  14. Review the configuration details and select Test Connection. A successful test is required for Identity Security Cloud to gather data for this source.

After your source has been connected, you can make any additional configurations you need:

  • Configure correlation to ensure that user accounts will be associated with the correct identities.

  • You can schedule regular aggregations for accounts in this source.

  • If you use Identity Security Cloud entitlements to grant roles to your users, you should also schedule regular entitlement aggregations.

  • Configure a Create Account policy to configure how accounts and attributes should be provisioned to Non-Employee Risk Management.

  • You can also configure attribute sync to keep Non-Employee Risk Management data synchronized with the authoritative identity attributes from Identity Security Cloud.

Note

Custom account schemas are not supported on the Non-Employee Risk Management Users source.

Synchronizing with Identity Security Cloud

Synchronize changes made to users and user roles in Non-Employee Risk Management with their corresponding identities in Identity Security Cloud. The synchronization of users and user roles occurs immediately, without requiring a manual aggregation.

Note

To support this feature, you need to provide the Identity Security Cloud source's ID. By default, Non-Employee Risk Management attempts to detect the source ID when you enable this feature. If the source ID can't be detected, Non-Employee Risk Management can help you determine one.

To enable synchronization with Identity Security Cloud:

  1. Go to Admin > System > Identity Security Cloud Connection Settings and select the USERS tab.

  2. Enable the Sync with Identity Security Cloud toggle. Non-Employee Risk Management attempts to determine the Identity Security Cloud source's ID.

    If Non-Employee Risk Management can't detect the Identity Security Cloud source's ID, it will display a message. You can update the source ID as needed to complete the configuration.

  3. Select Save.

Updating the User Source ID

If Non-Employee Risk Management can't determine the Identity Security Cloud source's ID, it can create a new one or you can manually enter one. The solution varies depending on the reason why a source ID wasn't found:

  • The source doesn't exist.

  • The source ID was updated outside of Non-Employee Risk Management.

Creating a New Source with Non-Employee Risk Management

Non-Employee Risk Management can create a new source in Identity Security Cloud and determine its source ID.

To allow Non-Employee Risk Management to create a new source:

  1. Go to Admin > System > Identity Security Cloud Connection Settings and select the USERS tab.

    Non-Employee Risk Management displays a message stating that an Identity Security Cloud source was not detected.

  2. Select Automatically Create New Source.

    Non-Employee Risk Management creates the new source in Identity Security Cloud and updates the Source ID entry.

  3. Select Save.

Detecting a New Source ID with Non-Employee Risk Management

If the source ID was updated outside of Non-Employee Risk Management, it can detect the updated source ID and perform the update.

To allow Non-Employee Risk Management to automatically detect the new source ID:

  1. Go to Admin > System > Identity Security Cloud Connection Settings and select the USERS tab.

    Non-Employee Risk Management displays a message warning of a source ID mismatch.

  2. Select Update Source ID.

    Non-Employee Risk Management determines the new source ID and updates the Source ID entry.

  3. Select Save.

Manually Updating the Source ID

To manually update the source ID:

  1. Go to Admin > System > Identity Security Cloud Connection Settings and select the USERS tab.

    If Non-Employee Risk Management displays a message, select Cancel.

  2. Enter the new source ID in the Source ID field.

  3. Select Save.
