Data Flow in a IGA System (SailPoint)

The above flow diagram illustrates how data is flown from an authoritative source, for instance, the HR system, to your IGA application (SailPoint IIQ) and any target application, for instance, Active Directory.

For example:

A new user is onboarded in the HR system with the below information:

• Employee ID: E100, First Name: Rahul, Middle Name: Kumar, Last Name: Sharma

SailPoint will fetch this data from the HR system and create user accounts in Active Directory. SailPoint will retrieve the information from the account once it has been successfully created to make sure both systems are in sync.

In some organizations, email addresses are created by your IGA application, so it's important to write back the same information to the HR system.
