8.4.3 How the Rule Works

This rule is used when you want to use a template object to create a user in the Identity Vault. If you

information in the template object, and when the User object is created, Identity Manager calls the
template and uses that to create the User object.
During the creation of User objects, the rule performs the action of the set operation template DN.
The action calls the template object and creates the User object with the information in the template.

objects. Implement the rule on the Subscriber Creation policy or Publisher Creation policy in the
