Update Global Users using Identity Manager

Updates to users in the provisioning directory occur when you use an admin task that modifies users. If no global user exists, no synchronization occurs.

Outbound mappings match the Identity Manager user events to an outbound event that affects the provisioning directory.

If a user exists in the provisioning directory but not in Identity Manager, you can create that user in the User Console. If you have mapped attributes for the create task and the users have the same user ID, the attributes for the provisioning user are updated in the provisioning directory. Now you can manage that user from Identity Manager.

Note: If an event updates user attributes and you want the values to be synchronized to CA Identity Manager, then you need to map the events to the Outbound Event: POST_MODIFY_GLOBAL_USER.
