Update Account Attributes

This topic demonstrates how to edit the attributes or properties of user accounts in EmpowerID and verify those changes in the external account store (Active Directory in this case).

Update account attributes

1. On the navbar, expand Identity Administration and select User Accounts.

2. Search for the user account you want to update and then click the Logon Name link for that account.
   

   

   
   
   This opens the View One page for the account. View One pages allow you to view information about an object and manage it as needed.
   

   

   
   

3. On the View One page, select the Advanced tab and click the Logon Name link.
   

   

   
   
   This opens the Edit page for the account.
   

   

   
   

4. Make any needed edits and then click Save. If the account has an EmpowerID Person linked to it and the account store has Attribute Flow enabled, the changes you make to the account are synced to the user's EmpowerID Person is accordance with your Attribute Flow rules.

   
   

Verify the edits in Active Directory

1. On a machine with the Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell installed, run the following cmdlet, substituting the name of the user and the property for the user and attribute you edited.
   

   GET-ADUser Hal.Jordan-Properties *|Select -Property City

2. Verify that the property reflects the attribute change you made to the user account.
