Role and Location Mapping

Business Role and Location mappings allow existing external directory Locations and roles to be mapped to a logical management structure in EmpowerID. The below image depicts this. In the image, the source directory contains an employee record, a job code, and a location code. With role and location mappings, the job code can be mapped to an EmpowerID Business Role and the location code can be mapped to an EmpowerID location.
