Yes. In SailPoint IdentityIQ, correlation logic can be specified for authoritative applications. An authoritative application is commonly used as a trusted source for identity data, such as HR or another system of record.
During aggregation, IdentityIQ reads account or source records from the application and uses correlation logic to determine whether each record should be linked to an existing IdentityCube or used in identity creation and update processing.
Correlation logic may be configured using account attributes, identity attributes, or correlation rules. For example, an authoritative source may correlate records by employee ID, user name, email address, or another unique identifier. This ensures that incoming authoritative data updates the correct identity instead of creating duplicates or leaving records uncorrelated.
The authoritative nature of the application does not eliminate the need for correlation. It defines the trust level and identity-data role of the source, while correlation defines how records from that source are matched to identities in IdentityIQ.
