IM InfoSphere Identity Insight, Version 8.0

Finding entities by data source account

When you know the account number (or external ID) of an identity, and you want to find the entity that contains that identity, use the Find By Datasource Account in the Visualizer. You can also find an entity that you added through the Add Entity screen.

Before you begin
You must know the data source description and external ID of the identity (or account). If you are trying to find an entity by name, use the Find By Attribute method.
  1. In the Visualizer, do one of the following:
    1. Click View > Find By > Datasource Account.
    2. From the toolbar, click the arrow, and select Datasource Account.
    3. From the Find By window, select Datasource Account from the Find By drop-down list.
  2. In Enter External ID, enter the account number for the identity. The account is the way the identity is known in the original data source.
  3. In Data Source, select the data source code and description.
  4. Click Find.
Results
If the system finds an entity that contains an identity with the specified external ID and data source criteria, the Visualizer displays the Entity Resume for that entity.
