Operating with application-specific groups by Identity Provisioning service requires having a source system with set property ips.application.id. By running provisioning jobs from such source system you can create, update, and delete application-specific groups in the Identity Directory of your SAP Cloud Identity Services tenant, depending on the values of their attributes.

  • Under Applications and Resources, choose the Applications tile.
