Hello All,
Am currently using XAAS source which manages the users on OKTA, we do have workday HRMS manages user type A, for User type B the source of truth is XAAS source. Is that recommended to create a separate user type sot hat workday manages the default user type and XAAS manages the User type B will there be a conflict if we XAAS manages the default user type?
Hello @GiridharanD.41770 (Customer) Thank you for posting on our Community page!
Using different Custom User type has it's limitations, I would recommend using the default User type for the Source of though that has the vast majority of users this way you can avoid some of the know issues.
For more information on known issues please see our doc below:
