Mer kompetanse

This document outlines the necessary steps to integrate eADM with Mer Kompetanse to automate user and access management.

Overview

Mer Kompetanse is a learning platform featuring competence management and a leadership dashboard. The platform offers:

• Competence plans with quality-assured course content.

• A report generator with standard reports and the ability to build custom ones.

• Certifications that can be assigned automatically or manually.

• The ability to create custom courses and events.

• Standard Single Sign-On (SSO) functionality.

The integration between eADM and Mer Kompetanse provisions, maintains, and deactivates users and departments. User accounts are created with the correct department affiliation and job title. eADM also manages user roles, assigning them as either an "employee" or a "manager."

When an employee leaves the organization or changes roles, eADM automatically deactivates their Mer Kompetanse account. If an employee changes departments, their affiliation is updated accordingly in Mer Kompetanse. The integration also maintains the organizational hierarchy based on data imported from the HR system.

Pre-configuration

Before the integration can be activated, the following preparation steps must be completed:

1. Order the Integration: Contact Identum to order the Mer Kompetanse integration.

2. Initial Setup: Identum will contact Mer Kompetanse to acquire the necessary access permissions for the integration.

3. Technical Kick-off Meeting: Identum will schedule a technical meeting with you to review the setup and clarify the following points:

   • Which users and departments should be exported from eADM to Mer Kompetanse.

   • The criteria for assigning "manager" and "employee" roles.

   • Whether existing users and departments in Mer Kompetanse need to be linked to their corresponding entries in eADM.

Once these details are confirmed, the integration can be activated.

Configuration

To prevent creating duplicate entries, you must link existing users and departments in Mer Kompetanse with the data in eADM.

Step 1: Link Existing Users

To connect employees from your HR system to their existing user accounts in Mer Kompetanse, both systems must share a matching unique identifier.

Warning: Ensure the email address in Mer Kompetanse matches the user's primary work email address or User Principal Name (UPN) in eADM. Failure to do so will result in duplicate user accounts.

Step 2: Link Existing Departments

To connect departments from your HR system to the corresponding departments in Mer Kompetanse, both systems must use a matching unique ID. This is typically the department number, which can be found in eADM. You must add this number to the ID field on the corresponding department within Mer Kompetanse.

Warning: If you do not add the correct department number to existing departments in Mer Kompetanse, the integration will create duplicate departments.

Synchronization Template Example
