Account Inbox

What is the Account Inbox?

The Account Inbox is simply the Account table and status fields to determine if the account has been processed and belongs to a person.
The Account Inbox Bulk workflow claims orphan accounts in batches to determine if they can be joined to an existing person, provisioned to a new person or ignored.

Account Inbox Prerequisites

At least one EmpowerID Worker role container must have a role with the Permanent Workflow Job/Role enabled
The Account Inbox permanent workflow must be enabled.

Account Inbox Permanent Workflow

Account Inbox Join Rules

With EmpowerID, you can set rules that evaluates the accounts in those directories to determine whether EmpowerID People should be provisioned from those accounts. The logic that determines this is specified by the Join and Provision Rules, as well as the Join and Provision Filters, specified on the Account Inbox Settings page. These settings are grouped in Account Invox Settings page which can be accessed from Identity Lifecycle, and click Settings.

Rules can be provisined by different combintaions of First Name, Last Name, DOB, Email, EmployeeID or account attributes. Extending the default options, you can write custom sql logic in Join by Custom Match feild to implement your own logic for join rules. A setting to specfiy wether joining an inventoried account to an EmpowerID Person is allowed by setting the Join Rule.

An extensive review of the joiner rules and description can be found here https://dotnetworkflow.jira.com/wiki/pages/resumedraft.action?draftId=1446561628 .

Account Inbox Provision Rule

The default shipping logic ensures that for provisioning an EmpowerID Person from an inventoried account, the following conditions must be met:

Person provisioning is allowed (A.AllowProvision = 1)
An account store exists in EmpowerID for an external system
Person provisioning is allowed on the account store with the accounts

If the above conditions are met, EmpowerID will provision an EmpowerID Person for each user account in a connected user directory that does not currently have a Person linked to it (based on the Join Filter and rules specified above).

Core Identity Inbox Settings

EmpowerId supports Core Identity i.e master identity representing one individual who might have one or more professional identity (represented in EmpowerID as a person). Settings can be configured for how the joining of person objects to the corresponding core identity is determined.

Join by First Name and Last Name : Specifies that Person objects be joined to the same core identity when the first name and the last name attributes of the Person objects are the same.

Join by Birth Date and First Name and Last Name: Specifies that Person objects be joined to the same core identity when the birth date, first name and the last name attributes of the Person objects are the same.

Join based on this list of comma separated attributes : In addition to the above join rules, allows you to specify one or more custom Person attributes that must be the same in order for the Person objects to be joined to the same core identity.

Core Identity Provision Rule : Allows you to write custom provision rule for creating core identities.
