Issue/Introduction

We have an Attribute that is mandatory for our custom connector but we don't want that attribute to be displayed inside Provisioning Manager. Is it possible to hide this attribute?

Environment

Release:
Component: IDMGR

Resolution

An attribute can be hidden inside Provisioning Manager through the following.

1) Open Connector Xpress

2) Right click on the deployed connector and choose to edit metadata

3) Look for eTDYNAccount -> Properties and find the attribute holding the mapping for the attribute you would like hidden

4) under the metadata add a new property with the name of "isHidden" of type Boolean and mark it as true.

5) Do the same under eTDYNPolicy -> Properties under the attribute you added.

6) Save the changes

7) Re-open Provisioning Manager and the field will be hidden from both Account Template and Account property screens.
