Managing Access Model Metadata

To enrich an organization’s access model and add valuable contextual information to access items, Admins can utilize metadata attributes. SailPoint includes some default global metadata attributes you can use “out-of-the-box”. You can also create custom metadata attributes for entitlements and roles to add further context.

Creating Custom Metadata Attributes

To create custom metadata attributes:

  1. Go to Admin > Access Model > Metadata.

  2. In the left pane, select the type of metadata attribute you want to create:

    • Entitlement Metadata

    • Role Metadata

    • Global Metadata

  3. Select Create Attribute.

  4. Enter a unique name for the new custom attribute.

  5. Add attribute values.

  6. Select Save. The custom metadata attribute appears in the metadata attribute list.

Editing Metadata Attributes

  1. In the metadata attribute list, select Actions > Edit for the attribute you want to edit.

  2. Enter the changes. You can change the metadata attribute Name, description, or values. The Technical Name cannot be changed.

  3. After entering all your changes, select Save.
