Loading Entitlement Data

Entitlements are the access rights an account has on a source. Each source’s account schema specifies which account attributes represent its entitlements. When you aggregate accounts, the accounts are marked with the entitlements they have, creating a simple representation of the entitlements in the source’s entitlement catalog.

Many sources also contain enhanced data about their entitlements, such as display names, that can help users better understand what they mean. You can also collect that information from the source through a separate process called entitlement aggregation.

Source entitlements with enhanced data like descriptions and the type.

Though not mandatory, it is both common and recommended to define an entitlement type and run entitlement aggregations to collect this information, providing these important benefits:

  • It defines the entire catalog of entitlements associated with the source, regardless of whether they're already associated with accounts.
  • It can aggregate additional attributes for each entitlement, including display names, descriptions, and relationships to other entitlements.
  • It allows entitlements aggregated as account attributes to be linked to the entitlement details. Refer to Managing Source Account Schemas for more information.
