turn off attribute event triggers using a script

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are looking at turning off attribute event triggers using a script.

The idea is to turn off the event trigger/s, add/modify/remove the attribute on users and then turn this trigger back on without having to use the Identiy Center.

Is this possible to do this using a script or a similar method?

Thanks,

Sean

Hello Sean,

I don't really know your use case but what I did once when I needed similar feature is, I checked what executed the event task - in the beginning of the event task itself.

For example you don't want the event task to be executed if the actual change was done by a certain user or in a certain task: You check first in that process what the reference audit (=parent audit) is and what/whom it was started by. If it was that task or user you don't want it to be executed on you skip the operation and if not you go on.

Hope that helps.

Regards

Hi Norman,

Yes something like this could work in our case. It is only one specific task that modifies an attribute which we want to ignore, so we could check this in our event task and skip if needed.

Thanks for your help.

You are able to do this with adding {BYPASS_MODIFY_TAKS=1} in front of the responsible System Privilege.
