Importing user and entitlements from your applications

In an IAM project, a common task is to import entitlements and users from your applications to:

  • Create a user profile which shows the access that user has across all application.
  • Develop the service catalog

OpenIAM does not allow you, by default, to import both users and the list entitlements in one process. You must first:

  • Import your entitlements
  • Import users + their entitlements

The sections below describe how you can achieve the first step: "Import your entitlements". Since OpenIAM allows you to import a variety of entitlement types, the list below is organized by the object type.
