What components must be configured when defining a source configuration?

When defining a source configuration in SailPoint Identity Now, it's essential to establish several critical components to ensure that the data source is properly integrated and can be utilized effectively within the identity governance framework.

The inclusion of source metadata, account schema, and manager correlation is vital for several reasons:

• Source Metadata: This component includes essential information about the data source itself, such as its type, connection properties, and access protocols. Properly configuring source metadata allows Identity Now to interact accurately with the data source, providing necessary context for the operations it will perform (e.g., reading user accounts).

• Account Schema: This defines the structure of the accounts that will be pulled in from the source. It establishes the fields and attributes that will be used to represent the accounts, allowing for a clear mapping of the source data into Identity Now. This is crucial for ensuring that the right user attributes are recognized and managed correctly within the platform.

• Manager Correlation: This aspect of configuration is important for establishing relationships between users and their respective managers within the source. By effectively defining how manager relationships are represented, organizations can better manage workflows, access rights, and reporting.

These components together ensure that the source is correctly understood and leveraged within the Identity Now
