EmpowerID provides 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 of attributes from the external system to their ultimate attribute assignment in the EmpowerID person. The screen shot below shows the schema management page.

For detailed instructions on the various columns and their relationship to each other, follow this link to the About the EmpowerID Schema article in our online documentation.
