Manage the Data Model

Use the Data Model node to combine various identity sources and create relationships between them. This helps you create the organizational structure of your environment.

In your organization, employee and organizational information is probably stored at various locations, like Microsoft Active Directory, or in an HR or financial database. The organizational structure in your environment can combine this information. Although you can recreate an organizational structure manually in your environment, it is much more convenient to synchronize this data with its source, and combine it in Ivanti Identity Director. You can achieve this with:

• Data sources. A data source specifies the external source of the data that you want to synchronize. This can be Microsoft Active Directory, a CSV file or a database. For example, if the external source is a CSV file with data about employees, a data source specifies this data.
• Data connections. A data connection can synchronize specific data from an external source. For example, if this source contains data about employees, you can configure a data connection to synchronize the ID and full name of each employee only.
