Company Names

[David Heath]

Hello,

I'm new to Foresight, and so far it's a really good tool to have; however, there is one thing I would like to be able to do.

I would like to change the organization (user.organizations) associated with a user. It is not available from the admin panel, and the only way I can do it at the moment is via GAM or CloudM, which is a service I use but cannot recommend.

Ideally, when I create a new user in an OU, depending on the OU, I could trigger this action to write the user.organizations name. 

Cheers,

Hello, 

xFanatical Foresight has integrated some fields on the Directory API user.organizations. These fields are mapped with the User information > Employee information in Google Admin Console. These include the department, job title, type of employee and cost center. xFanatical Foresight does not integrate with other subfields unavailable in Google Admin Console. 

You can create a rule like this User created => If => Update employee information. If a user is created, Foresight checks the user's OU, based on OU condition, update the employee's information. 

I hope it helps. Feel free to comment. 

Thank you.

Thank you for your quick response, Jason.

Are there any plans to integrate the additional fields that are accessible via the API? Or maybe the option to write a simple script that would allow us to do this? 

I think xFanatical Foresight is a far better system for offboarding and automated tasks over CloudM and other similar services, but this one small issue is stopping me from just jumping on and using it for all my needs. TBH, I still find it odd that I cannot change the company name for my employees in the Admin area, especially since we can't be the only company that manages more than one company.

Cheers,

David
