Edit GUID attribute for Users
Overview
There may be instances wherein:
-
The users are added manually to inSync but require alignment with AD/LDAP directory services for auto provisioning..
-
The user GUID attribute in inSync may not match with the GUID value specified in the AD/LDAP directory.
To align such users, inSync uses the GUID attribute from your AD/LDAP directory to validate and sync the users with your directory.
In such scenarios, you can edit the user GUID attributes if the user provisioning method is set as AD/LDAP in inSync.
-
The provisioning method changes to AD/LDAP when you update the GUID attribute for users added manually.
-
The provisioning method changes to manual when you delete the GUID for a user.
Key considerations
-
You can update the GUID only if the provisioning method is set as AD/LDAP.
-
Use the unique GUID attribute for the user available in AD/LDAP directory.
-
The provisioning method changes when you update or delete the GUID attribute for a user.
Procedure

-
On the Endpoints console, select Users.
-
Select the user to go to the respective User details page.
-
Click Edit in the Summary section. The Edit User window appears.
-
