Managing Multi-Host Account Aggregation Groups

Account aggregation is the process of loading account data into Identity Security Cloud from external sources. Account aggregation groups enable centralized management of account aggregation for multiple sources.

An account aggregation group can contain a maximum of 10 sources. During the source creation process, the required number of account aggregation groups are automatically created and sources are automatically distributed between groups.

Note

Manual creation of account aggregation groups and manual allocation of sources within the groups is not supported.

You can schedule or manually start account aggregations.

Scheduling Aggregations for Multi-Host Account Aggregation Groups

You can schedule aggregation to automatically load new account data for sources within the group on a regular basis from the Account Aggregation page.

  1. Go to Admin > Connections > Multi-Host Sources and select a multi-host group.

  2. Select Edit to view configuration details about the multi-host group.

  3. From the left navigation, select Account Management > Account Aggregation.

  4. You can enable aggregation scheduling and set the frequency, time, and recurrence. Refer to Scheduling Aggregations for Direct Connect Sources for guidance.

  5. (Optional) Select the Disable Account Deletion checkbox to ensure no accounts are deleted.

    Alternatively, you can set the percentage of allowed deleted accounts per aggregation in the Account Delete Threshold section. Choose a percentage from the dropdown list or enter the percentage of accounts in the threshold field. Select Save to save your changes.

    Note

    The percentage must be an integer between 1 and 100. If the deletions exceed this value, no accounts will be deleted. SailPoint recommends using this option to avoid removing user data in the event of a misconfiguration.

    Account Deletion Limitations
    • If a source has 10 or fewer accounts, setting this value to 4 percent or less will result in the number being rounded to 1 percent to prevent all accounts from being deleted.
    • If a source has 11 - 20 accounts, setting this value to 2 percent or less will will result in the number being rounded to 1 percent to prevent all accounts from being deleted.

  6. Select Save to schedule the source aggregation.
