This mapping is instrumental in determining identity provisioning and access assignments. As user accounts are received from an authoritative source sources, such as an HR system, they are associated with an linked to external role and location assignment assignments based on the attributes and data of provided by the external system. As these user accounts are joined to integrated into the EmpowerID ecosystem and associated with a person's identity, the external role and location assignments are translated to an RBAC business role and location based on the mapping between the external and internal assignments.

With Through role and location mappings in EmpowerID, the job code can be mapped to systematically translated into an EmpowerID Business Role, and the location code can be mapped to an EmpowerID location. This internal role and location are then Location.

However, if in scenarios where an external system does not have a clear lacks a well-defined representation of an the organizational structure that is suitable necessary for creating the external roles and locations, a EmpowerID offers the flexibility to create dynamic hierarchy policy can be created that can automatically policies. These policies can dynamically combine up to 3 three attributes to create the generate external roles and 3 up to three attributes to create the external locations . These dynamic hierarchy policies can be easily created in the EmpowerID Web UI.
