Is ensuring that aggregation brings in the attributes to be synced necessary for sync to work?

Ensuring that aggregation brings in the attributes to be synced is essential for the synchronization process to function correctly. In the context of SailPoint Identity Security Cloud, aggregation is the process by which data from source systems is collected and brought into the identity governance platform. This includes pulling user attributes and other relevant data that define identities.

When the aggregation process accurately brings in all necessary attributes, it allows for a comprehensive view of the identities and their associated data within the system. This is crucial for effective identity management, as it enables the organization to maintain up-to-date records, enforce compliance policies, conduct risk assessments, and automate various functions such as access reviews and provisioning.

Without ensuring that the relevant attributes are included during aggregation, there could be gaps in the identity data, leading to incomplete sync operations and potentially impacting security and compliance efforts. Thus, the synchronization process relies on the preceding aggregation step to be thorough and accurate.
