How many sources can be referenced in a single Access Profile?

In SailPoint Identity Now, a single Access Profile can reference only one source. This is significant because Access Profiles are designed to group together entitlements, which are the rights or permissions granted to users based on the specific source they are accessing. By limiting each Access Profile to a single source, it ensures clarity and simplicity in managing and assigning access to users, facilitating compliance and governance within the identity management framework.

Having this restriction helps in maintaining clear visibility on how entitlements are connected to specific applications or systems, thereby reducing complexity that could arise from associating multiple sources within a single profile. As such, each Access Profile is a focused representation of entitlements coming from one designated source, which aids administrators in properly managing user access and adhering to best practices regarding identity governance.
