When is a create profile applied?

A create profile in SailPoint Identity Now is applied anytime an account is created for a user on a source. This means that the create profile is not limited to specific events such as user enrollment or registration; rather, it is associated with all instances where a new account is established within a given data source.

This flexibility allows organizations to automate the handling of user account attributes and configurations. The create profile defines the attributes and values that should be applied to the account at the moment of creation, ensuring consistency and adherence to policies across various sources.

In contrast, other scenarios like user enrollment or registration may only represent specific events in the lifecycle of a user account but do not encompass the broader application of the create profile whenever an account is generated. Thus, the correct understanding is that the create profile's application is not confined to a singular event but is a part of the ongoing account management process.
