In EmpowerID, Attribute Flow is a flexible process that is used to detect changes that occur to a managed identity by comparing the attributes of each EmpowerID Person object with the attributes of each user account that has been joined to those Person objects. When attribute changes are detected, EmpowerID flags the account and processes those changes, issuing commands to update any affected attributes in either the EmpowerID Identity Warehouse or the connected account store, depending on the origin of the change. If the change occurred through actions originating in EmpowerID, commands are issued to update the user objects in all connected resource systems via each system's respective connector. If the changes occurred through actions originating in a resource system, EmpowerID retrieves those changes and records them in the Identity Warehouse, where they are evaluated and either used to update the Identity Warehouse or discarded as appropriate. The process by which this synchronization occurs can be represented by the below image.

The above image demonstrates 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:
