User Attribute missing from Unification Config - Attribute Sources

One of my User Attributes is not on this list of "Attribute Sources" under the unification settings. It is a User type attribute (Supervisor) and is currently collected by one other collector. I am setting up a separate collector and would like to make this authoritative for this field only.

Is this a product bug, or is there some smart logic in the GUI where it doesn't let you select an authoritative source until the system sees that it is being collected by more than one IDC?

Thanks,

Bill

No, this is not a bug.

You resolve the supervisor in the Reference Resolution section of Unification. You can specify the mapping only for the IDC that you have created to pull in the supervisors.

Thanks Pradeep. However, I am not trying to modify the reference resolutions. I am talking about setting IDC priority when unification runs.

Scenario with 2 IDCs -

IDC1 (Primary)

IDC2 (Secondary)

By default, IDC1 values will be unified to the identity. However, I want to change this behavior ONLY for the Supervisor attribute so that all identities collected by IDC2 will store the Supervisor value from IDC2 instead of IDC1.
