CharbelA.38457 (Customer) asked a question.
I'm trying to understand how profile mastering priority works. I read about it but I have couple questions, if you can please help.
1- Let's say we have master profile that have 2 source profiles (LDAP) and (AD). LDAP has the highest priority and AD the lower one.
Q: if attribute is not found in highest priority(LDAP)? Does it populate it from the second highest(AD) ? or how does that works?
2- When we select the "Attribute" from the "User Profile" in the Profile editor, we can select the Master Priority -->("Inherit From Okta", "Inherit from Profile Master", "Override Profile Master"
Q: Wondering how can I accomplish what's described in the text below. I'm guessing I have to use the "Override Profile Master"? since the "Inherit from Profile Master" does not specifically say from which directory this attribute should be sourced (since it's based on the sourced "Priority")
"For example, an Okta user may have their profile attributes like first name, last name, and department sourced from Workday. With attribute-level sourcing, their phone number and email address can be sourced from Active Directory, and their personal email address or preferred display name can be sourced from Okta and managed by the end user."
1- I believe you are correct that it will populate from the second highest.
2- You would use the override setting and setup a priority list for that specific attribute. Inherit from profile master means that it will use the default profile master ordering. If you edit the Okta user profile, you will see a "profile master priority". This is the default priority that you will be overriding.
