AD Integration flows - Update user
Update
Introduction
Soffid provides a workflow to modify and/or delete a user in the final system. In it, we can see each of the steps of which this process is composed.

Step by Step
In this document, we will explain the process that Soffid performs to modify a user for the AD connector.
1. Initial step
First of all, Soffid checks if the user exists in Soffid and then checks the operation to perform, update or delete.
1.1. If the user does not exist in Soffid, the process finishes [10. End].
1.2. If the user exists in Soffid, the process continues through [2. User to remove?].
2. User to remove?
📌 By clicking on the User to remove? step,...
You can configure all the properties related to the user object for this step
2.1. If the user is marked for Deletion, Soffid will ask for user consent to continue with the process or to cancel it. If the answer is Yes, the process follows through the Yes branch, [3. Delete branch].
❓ Warning message
2.2. If the user is marked for Update, it continues with the flow following through the No branch, [4. Insert or Update branch].
3. Delete branch
📊 Diagram
3.1. When the operation to perform is to delete a user, first of all, Soffid has to check if the user exists in the target system.
3.1.1. If the user does not exist, there are no actions to perform in the target system, so the process finishes [10. End].
3.1.2. If the user exists, the flow continues executing the pre-delete triggers if there is anyone configured. More than one script can be configured. These scripts are executed just before the main action, user delete, and the result (true or false) determines if the main action will be performed or not.
3.1.2.1. False: if the result is false for one or more of these triggers, the process finishes [10. End].
3.1.2.2.True: if the result is true for all of these triggers, Soffid continues to the next step.
📌 By clicking on the Pre-delete triggers step,...
You can configure all the pre-delete triggers related to the user object for this step.
3.1.3. Soffid removes the AD user.
3.1.3. Then Soffid executes the post-delete triggers if any. These triggers can be used to perform a specific action just after performing the remove user operation on the target object.
📌 By clicking on the Post-delete triggers step,...
You can configure the post-delete triggers related to the user object for this step.
3.1.3. Then the process finishes [10. End].
4. Insert or Update branch
4.1. When the operation to perform is to update a user, first of all, Soffid generates the AD user. That is, Soffid calculates the values of the columns from the original values of Soffid.
📌 By clicking on the generate AD user step,...
You can configure the attributes related to the user object for this step.
4.2.Then Soffid asks if the user exists in the target system to decide the action to execute, this action can be an update or an insert. Soffid executes the property check of the User object.
4.2.1. If the user does not exist in the target system, the process continues through [5. Insert user branch].
4.2.2. If the user exists in the target system, the process continues through [6. Update user branch].
5. Insert user branch
📊 Diagram
5.1. Soffid executes the pre-insert triggers if there is anyone configured. More than one script can be configured. These scripts are executed just before the main action, user creates, and the result (true or false) determines if the main action will be performed or not.
5.1.1. False: if the response is false for one or more of these triggers, the process finishes [10. End] and the user is not created.
5.1.2. True: if the response is true for all of these triggers, Soffid continues to the next step.
5.2. Soffid creates AD user.
5.3. Then Soffid executes post-insert triggers if any. These triggers can be used to perform a specific action just after performing the create user operation on the target object.
📌 By clicking on the Post-insert triggers step,...
You can configure the Post-insert triggers related to the user object for this step.
5.4. Then the process continues through [7. Groups].
6. Update user branch
📊 Diagram
6.1. Soffid checks if there are any change.
6.1.1. False: if there are no changes, the process finishes [10. End]
6.1.2. True: if there are changes to update, Soffid continues to the next step.
6.2. Soffid executes the pre-update triggers if there is anyone configured. More than one script can be configured. These scripts are executed just before the main action, user update, and the result (true or false) determines if the main action will be performed or not.
6.2.1. False: if the response is false for one or more of these triggers, the process finishes [10. End] and the user is not updated
6.2.2. True: if the response is true for all of these triggers, Soffid continues to the next step.
📌 By clicking on the Pre-update triggers step,...
You can configure the Pre-update triggers related to the user object for this step.
6.3. Soffid updates the AD user.
📌 By clicking on the update user step,...
You can configure the properties related to the user object for this step.
6.4. Then Soffid executes the post-update triggers if any. These triggers can be used to perform a specific action just after performing the update user operation on the target object.
📌 By clicking on the Post-update triggers step,...
You can configure the Post-update triggers related to the user object for this step.
6.6. Then the process continues through [7. Groups].
7. Groups
At this point, Soffid runs the actions relative to the groups. The operations can be to add new groups or remove existing groups.
8. Group to remove &&REVISAR&&
This is a loop while there are groups to remove. This groups list comes from ??????????????????? the previous step [7. Grants].
📊 Diagram
8.1. If there are No grants to remove, the process goes to [9. Group to add].
8.2. Yes, there are grants to remove:
8.2.1. Soffid executes the pre-delete triggers if there is anyone configured. More than one script can be configured. These scripts are executed just before the main action, a Remove user to group, and the result (true or false) determines if the main action will be performed or not.
8.2.1.1. False: if the response is false for one or more of these triggers, the process goes to [8. Grant to add] and the grant is not created.
8.2.1.2. True: if the response is true for all of these triggers, Soffid continues to the next step.
📌 By clicking on the Pre-delete triggers step,...
You can configure the Pre-insert triggers related to the grant object for this step.
8.2.3. If the result of the triggers is true, then Soffid creates the grant. To do that, Soffid executes the property insert of the grant object.
📌 By clicking on the create grant step,...
You can configure the properties related to the grant object for this step.
8.2.4. Then Soffid executes the post-insert triggers if any. These triggers can be used to perform a specific action just after performing the create grant operation on the target object.
📌 By clicking on the Post-insert triggers column values step,...
You can configure the Post-Update related to the grant object for this step.
8.2.5. Then the process continues through [8. Grant to add].
9. Group to add
📊 Diagram
This is a loop while there are grants to remove. This grants list comes from the previous step [7. Grants].
9.1 No: If there are No grants to add, the process goes to [10. End].
9.2. Yes, there are grants to remove:
9.2.1. Soffid executes the pre-delete triggers if there is anyone configured. More than one script can be configured. These scripts are executed just before the main action, a grant delete, and the result (true or false) determines if the main action will be performed or not.
9.2.1.1. False: if the response is false for one or more of these triggers, the process finishes [10. End] and the grant is not deleted.
9.2.1.2. True: if the response is true for all of these triggers, Soffid continues to the next step.
📌 By clicking on the pre-delete trigger step,...
You can configure the Pre-delete triggers related to the grant object for this step.
9.2.2. If the result of the triggers is true, then Soffid deletes the grant. To do that, Soffid executes the property delete of the grant object. This operation can return a true or false result.
9.2.2.1. False: the delete action could not be performed and the process check for another grant [9. Grant to remove].
9.2.2.2. True: the delete action could be performed properly. Soffid continues to the next step.
📌 By clicking on the delete grant step,...
You can configure the properties related to the grant object for this step.
