Update Claims Mapping Policy in EmpowerID

Claims mapping policies may need to be updated over time to reflect changes in identity data requirements. In EmpowerID, you can update an existing claims mapping policy to add new source or static claims, or remove claims that are no longer needed.

This guide shows you how to:

  • Use the UpdateAzureClaimsMappingPolicy workflow to add new claims to a policy
  • Remove claims either from the policy overview or from within the workflow

All additions are performed through the workflow interface, while deletions can be made directly from the UI or during policy edits.

note
If you haven’t created a claims mapping policy yet, start with the Create Claims Mapping Policy guide.
