Hi Brent,
Based on what i understand, you want to automate the creation of account/add user to group based on input file. correct ?
Assuming Corp Directory have these fields.
employeeid,firstname,lastname,email
Firstly, u need to use the IDM bulk loader to load ur input file, this will update into Corp Directory in IDM.
Eg. input file:-
action,employeeid,firstname,lastname
create,1001,John,Smith
*Action in the input file will map to the AdminTask "Create User"
Secondly, to build the email value. We can use Policy Express(PX) to build the logic.
Eg. Generate user email=<firstname><lastname>@abc.com
This PX will be trigger after completion of AdminTask "Create User", then User's email in Corp Directory will be updated.
Once the "Create User' task is fully completed. In the Corp Directory userstore. You will see
empployeeid=1001
firstname=John
lastname=Smith
email=JohnSmith@abc.com"
** The above is just the creation of user in Corp Directory. If you want to automate the creation of AD account, just add more PX to handle the task.
** As long as ur input file field name is the same as AdminTask "Create User" form, the value will update automatically.
** If you have certain field that need to be "computed" like email, then use PX or BLTH
Hope you get the idea.
regards,
William
