EmpowerID includes a Salesforce connector that allows organizations to bring the user data (user accounts, permissions sets, profiles and roles) in their Salesforce domain to EmpowerID, where it can be managed and synchronized with data in any connected back-end user directories. Once connected, you can manage this data from EmpowerID in the following ways:

• Account Management

  • Inventory user accounts

  • Create, Update and Delete user accounts

  • Enable and Disable user accounts
    

• Group Management

  • Inventory groups

  • Inventory group memberships

  • Create groups

  • Add and Remove members to and from groups
    

• Attribute Flow
  Users in Salesforce are inventoried as accounts in EmpowerID. The below table shows the attribute mappings of Salesforce user attributes to EmpowerID Person attributes.

Additionally, EmpowerID provides Provisioning policies or Resource Entitlements that allow you to automatically provision Salesforce accounts for any person within your organization based on their role. For example, if your organization has a sales department, each time a new hire occurs within that department, EmpowerID can provision a Salesforce account for that individual with the profile specified in the Provisioning policy. For more information on Resource Entitlements and Salesforce, see Salesforce User Accounts.

EmpowerID creates the account store and the associated resource system. The next step is to configure attribute flow between the account store and EmpowerID.

Step 2 – Configure Attribute flow

Now that the attribute flow has been set, the next steps include configuring the account store and enabling EmpowerID to inventory it.

Step 3 – Configure account store settings

1. On the Account Store and Resource System page for Salesforce, click the Account Store tab and then click the pencil icon to put the account store in edit mode.

This page allows you to specify the account proxy used to connect EmpowerID to your Salesforce account as well as how you want EmpowerID to handle the user information it discovers in UltiPro during inventory. Settings that can be edited are described in the table below the image.
