Discuss SailPoint Identity-Security-Administrator Exam Topic 8 Question 4

Is the following statement regarding attribute sync valid?

Proposed Solution / Statement: Attribute sync can be enabled by going to Admin > Connections > Sources and selecting and editing the source.

Does this proposed solution meet the requirement / solve the scenario?

AYes

BNo

Suggested Answer: A

The statement is correct. Attribute synchronization is configured at the source level because administrators must determine which account attributes on a specific governed source should remain synchronized with corresponding Identity Security Cloud identity attributes.

SailPoint's documented configuration path begins by navigating to Admin > Connections > Sources and selecting or editing the appropriate source. Within the source's Account Management section, the administrator opens Attribute Sync. Identity Security Cloud then displays the account attributes that are eligible for synchronization based on the source's Create Account definition and identity-attribute mappings. The administrator selects the attributes that should synchronize and can initiate the appropriate synchronization process.

Attribute Sync applies to existing correlated accounts. It does not independently create accounts, and an uncorrelated account cannot participate because Identity Security Cloud has no authoritative identity relationship from which to determine the target attribute values.

Therefore, accessing the source through Admin > Connections > Sources and configuring Attribute Sync from its account-management configuration is precisely the supported administrative approach.

I’m not confident, but I think enabling attribute sync might also involve permissions or other settings that aren’t mentioned in the statement.

I’m leaning towards option B because I recall that there are specific configurations required beyond just accessing the source settings.

I remember a practice question where we had to check multiple settings for attribute sync. It feels like there might be more to it than just editing the source.

I think the statement is partially correct, but I’m not entirely sure if that’s the only step needed for attribute sync.
