Resolution

Supported Field Types and Mapping 
The Siebel connector supports the administration of single-valued fields only.

• Requirement: Desired fields must first be mapped to an ETA attribute using the 'Mapping Table' tabs for the specific Object Type.
• Restriction: Multi-valued fields (MVG) are not supported for administration via the connector.

Mapping Limits 
Administrators can map a defined number of fields per object type:

• Siebel User Accounts: Up to 20 fields can be mapped to user account attributes.
• Other Siebel Objects: Up to 10 fields can be mapped for Positions, Responsibilities, Organizations, Views, and Internal Divisions.
  • Note: Attributes for Organizations and Views are read-only.

Administrative Capabilities

• User Accounts, Positions, Divisions, and Responsibilities: Administrators can perform Explore, Create, Modify, Rename, and Delete operations.
• Organizations, Views, and Lists of Values: Administrators are restricted to Explore operations only.

Supported User Account Types The connector only supports Siebel user accounts that contain a "User ID" field.

• Incompatibility: Accounts of the "Person" type and other custom accounts lacking a "User ID" cannot be managed.
• Reasoning: These accounts cannot be used for Siebel login, and therefore fall outside the scope of standard provisioning workflows.
