Schema Management

Organizations needing to store and maintain attributes not defined for a given object in the object tables of the EmpowerID Identity Warehouse can extend those objects as needed by overriding the class definition or schema for those objects with each new attribute.

• All EmpowerID Objects are extensible and extensions are supported

• Extensions are designed and managed in EmpowerID Workflow Studio

• EmpowerID Objects can be extended with new attributes and even methods

• Any existing EmpowerID Object method can be overridden/customized

• All extended attributes are searchable

• All extended attributes are available in form and UI designers

• All extended attributes are available via the API

• Attribute extensions do not require any DB changes; new attributes are stored in an existing ConfigurationXML column

EmpowerID provides a Schema Management page in the EmpowerID Web UI where a user can map person object attributes to account store attributes to external system attributes to create the interrelationships between the attributes, including mapping attributes from the external system to their ultimate attribute assignment in the EmpowerID person. The screenshot below shows the schema management page.
