Update Identity Data
How to perform modifications in the identity repository, to manage onboarding, offboarding and position changes.
This part is not about changing the data model, but data itself.
Overview
After the identity repository is initiated, you will need to modify it for many possible reasons. Among them:
- update all identities with new attributes because you didn't have the required information during the repository creation, or because it wasn't a priority for you then;
- perform onboarding: add new identities as new workers arrive in the company;
- modify identities' attributes to fix existing errors, or to reflect a real change in users' data, or model a position change;
- remove identities' attributes, as they are no longer required to manage entitlements;
- perform offboarding: remove identities with all their attributes, as users leave the company.
Participants and Artifacts
Integrators are able to perform an identity update if they master the new data.

Modify Identity Data
Modify identity data by proceeding as follows, according to the changes to be made:
- either update data individually by using predefined workflows in the UI;
- or perform a same change on several identities simultaneously by using Usercube's predefined workflow in the UI;
- or update data on a massive scale by uploading an external file into Usercube, as an incremental version of the identity repository.
