If you have Microsoft SharePoint and are running the User Profile service, you can configure EmpowerID to synchronize the user profile properties in your SharePoint with the corresponding EmpowerID Person attributes for each SharePoint user with an EmpowerID Person identity. In this way, if a user changes a property for one of their attributes, that change can be brought into EmpowerID and pushed to any of your connected account stores, such as Active Directory. The number of SharePoint profile properties that EmpowerID can synchronize with and the naming convention used shown in the below table.

The User Profile Service Application must be started in your SharePoint farm for EmpowerID Profile Sync to function correctly. |
You determine how changes made to these properties in SharePoint affect EmpowerID by the settings you apply to the attribute flow rules for your SharePoint system. These rules are visually configured for each profile property and are always relative to the relationship between a user profile property in SharePoint and the corresponding EmpowerID Person attribute. In addition to setting attribute flow rules, you create a Resource Entitlement (RET) for a SharePoint User Profile and apply that policy to your SharePoint users in EmpowerID.This topic explains how to enable profile sync for SharePoint.

In this example, we create a SharePoint User Profile Resource Entitlement and apply that entitlement to the Any Role Anywhere Business Role and Location.
