During attribute sync, what action does IdentityNow take?

During attribute sync, IdentityNow aims to ensure that the data reflects the current and accurate state of the identity attributes associated with user accounts. The correct action involves provisioning changes to the source when mismatches occur. This means that if any discrepancies are found between the identity attributes in IdentityNow and the corresponding account attributes in the source system, IdentityNow will update the source system to align with the latest information.

This process is crucial for maintaining consistent and accurate identity data across systems and for enabling seamless access to resources. By identifying discrepancies and making necessary updates, IdentityNow ensures that user information is up-to-date and reflects any recent changes or corrections.

The other choices do not represent the primary function of attribute sync in IdentityNow. Archiving attributes, for example, does not align with the active management of user data, nor does the deletion of non-matching attributes contribute to the overall integrity of identity management. Updating the identity attribute to match the account attribute describes a one-way sync rather than the reciprocal adjustments that IdentityNow performs with the source.
