Update User Process
The update user process includes updating the employee/contractor's records in IDM when their attributes change in HRMS. IDM reconciles the updated records from HRMS, updates the user profile, and sends the changes into corresponding target systems.
Update Process in IDM:
- User Identity attributes: Employee Name, Address, Email, and other user attributes as specified on target system forms
Post-Processes:
- Conversion from Contractor to Employee or from Employee to Contractor
- User Transfer – changes in Department, Position\Job, Company or Manager
- Termination
- Rehire

Note:
Computer Flag changes are applied to the user identity record based on the following logic:
- If there are no changes to the Computer Flag, AND the Computer Flag = No (Comp_Flag = N), the updates are applied to the user attributes in IDM only
- If there are no changes to the Computer Flag, AND If Computer Flag = Yes (Comp_Flag = Y), the user attribute updates are reconciled in IDM AND the updates are provisioned in target systems and core connected systems (Active Directory, West Mainframe, Office 365, Skype)
- If the Computer Flag changes from No to Yes, IDM create a Network ID in Active Directory and a West Mainframe Account role if applicable
- If the Computer Flag changes from Yes to No, IDM disable the account roles and entitlements on all core connected systems.
- The Deprovisioning date is set upon Termination, If a user is rehired, and the Computer Flag attribute is a change from N to Y, then the Deprovision date are reset to NULL\blank.
Email notifications are triggered upon the following changes to the identity record:
- If the user identity Computer Flag changes from 'N' to 'Y', the manager receives three Email Notifications:
- Two Emails with Network Credentials (one with ID and one with Password).
- One Email for the West Mainframe Account.
- For Home Drive Changes (e.g. location changes) – the IT Service Desk receive an email notification with the user's old and new home drive
- For Manager Changes – if the user's manager changes, an email notification is sent to both the user's old and new manager
- If HR Flag = D (Deceased) on updated user record, notification sent to the IAMS team only. The IAMS team then manages the account and subsequent notifications
