About this task

Note:
  • Newly added application profile attributes can be mapped with IBM® Security Verify attributes and are set as part of provisioning by using the values of Verify user attributes.
  • In Account sync, application attributes can be used, for mapping any custom target attributes to Verify attributes for account matching.
  • Application profile attributes can be used in reverse mappings. As part of an account sync operation, any changes to the custom attributes on the target involve the associated remediations on target and on Verify.
  • Application profile attributes show as part of account delta after account sync.
  • In-built transformations and custom rules can be applied on application profile attributes. They can set values for attributes on the target or to change user profile attributes based on any changes to custom attributes on the target.
