What is the first step in implementing an identity model for a new HR source?

The first step in implementing an identity model for a new HR source is aggregating the HR source. This involves collecting and importing the necessary identity data from the HR system into the identity management solution. Aggregation is crucial because it lays the foundation for further steps in the identity lifecycle management process.

Once the HR data is gathered, it becomes possible to define identity profiles, map identity attributes, and correlate accounts. These subsequent steps depend on having the necessary data available from the initial aggregation phase. Without this foundational step, the identity model cannot be effectively constructed or utilized, as there would be no data to work with for creating user profiles or managing identity attributes. Thus, aggregation is essential as the starting point for ensuring that the subsequent tasks can be performed effectively.
