To gain a more detailed understanding of the attribute synchronization process, let's examine the step-by-step explanation below, complemented by an illustrative the below diagram.
...
The above diagram illustrates how EmpowerID syncs user attributes in three iterations to show you the full spectrum of the process. This image shows how synchronization occurs between users with three user identities: one in an HR System, one in Active Directory, and one in the EmpowerID Identity Warehouse. The process is as follows:
...
In this way, the change to the Job Title attribute that occurred to the user account in the HR System occurs to that user's accounts in all managed systems. EmpowerID ensures these changes occur regardless of the direction in which they originate, as demonstrated by the "C" loop. In that loop, the logic and process are identical, with the only difference being the change to an attribute is discovered during the inventory of Active Directory. In that case, the changes flow from Active Directory to EmpowerID to the HR System.Insert excerpt
