Web Service Rules

Web Services Rules enable you to assign Web Service Subscriptions for importing user profile data into the system and synchronizing it with other profile management systems. 

Need to Know 

• You must first create a Web Service Subscription (WSS). For full details review Profile Web Service Subscription TMC Guide. 

• You can enable or disable web services for synchronizing user profiles for specific user groups. If you are synchronizing profiles with multiple company profiles, you may have more than one group. Typically, however, a single web service rule is sufficient if all users synchronize with the same company profile. 

• Example: One group of users may synchronize with a US company profile, while another group synchronizes with a UK company profile. 

Configuring Web Service Rules 

1. Navigate to the Rules tab. 

2. Select Web Services Rules link. 

3. Choose Edit or Add to either verify that the correct Web Service Subscription is applied and activated for the group or to add and activate a new Web Service Subscription. 

• The Add link indicates that no web services are currently established for the group. 

• The Edit link in green indicates that web services are established for the group and are active. 

• The Edit link in yellow indicates that web services are established for the group but are inactive. 

4. Optionally, enter a Description for the rule that is easily recognizable. 

5. Check box next to Activate Rule. 

6. Check box next to Enable Web Services using the following configuration sets. 

7. Select the desired Web Service Subscription from the list. 

8. Click Save. 

9. Click Save Priority Changes. 

10. Click the changes not applied link in the top right corner of the page, to finalize all changes. 

11. Test the configuration to ensure it operates as expected. 

Tip: Groups are prioritized to determine which rule applies when a user is a member of multiple groups. The Priority column, located to the left of each group, indicates the priority level. A lower priority number (near the top of the list) signifies a higher rule priority. The rule with the lowest priority number will govern the access and options for users in that group. 

To adjust a group's priority, enter a number in the Priority column and click Save Priority Changes. The group with the lowest priority number (highest priority) will be selected if a user belongs to multiple groups.
