Before you begin

Role required: iamsync_admin

Procedure

Navigate to All > Manage Federated ID > Federated ID Criteria.

The Federated ID Criteria page displays Role and User records.
Select the record to view the following details:
- Type Name: User
- Table Name: User [sys_user]
- ID Fields: user_name (User ID), email (default). Any fields listed as Selected are those fields that can be used for Federated ID generation.
- ID Fields: user_name (User ID), email (default). Any fields listed as Selected are those fields that can be used for Federated ID generation. You can change these fields, as long as the selection includes at least one unique field.
- Status: Completed (Federated ID generation status). Available Status: Ready, Running, Completed, Error. Note:
- The ID fields must include at least one unique field. User ID is no longer mandatory — it qualifies as a unique field, but you can select any other unique field instead.
- Only a field marked unique in the dictionary or a field with a single-column unique database index can be selected as a unique field.
- User ID and email are used to generate Federated IDs by default. [Omitted image "federated-id.png"] Alt text: Federated ID Criterias page
Note: You can only change ID fields when generating new Federated IDs for the existing records. To learn more, see Update ID fields.
