DONE SAML IDS

CLOSED:

+ Different types of IDs

- Email, identifies someone, everyone knows what it is

- Email address change, last names change

- Company changes name or merges

- Issue where user using email not belogning to their company

- Email addresses are case-insensitive

- Sometimes people's names are spelled wrong

+ EmployeeID introduced to get around the changing of email addresses

- Free-form string, used for display purposes

- Now we match reviewer ID to Employee ID now :smile:

- Anyone can change and employee ID from Django admin

- Usually comes from the outside, but can be edited

- Can make no assurances about the quality, can use it without other options

- How will we refer to these fields unambigiously

- EmployeeID that shows up in our profiles

+ Each 15Five user as a UserID tied to the database entry

- Number cannot change (rare cases with VPCs or such it may not be true)

- Good ID except that it's technical, buried deep

- Sometimes we get IDs from other sources that look like UserIDs

-

+ SCIM ID and SAML ID

- SCIM is a generic protocl, don't know external system, any provider

- They will be sending us some kind of ID

- Could come from an upstream source like BambooHR or what have you

- But we note it as the SCIM ID

- SAML works the same way

-

+ Manager / Reviewer ID in Okta

- They map the ID to the Manager's UserID in 15Five

- Could have been an email, their internal ID or a 15Five UserID

- Now we also take into account the EmployeeID
