Smart values for authentication policies

Use the smart values to save effort by instantly inserting data, such as user identity, group membership, and other information, into your automation rules. For example, you can use the {{event.user.externalDirectoryIds} smart value to get a list of identity provider directories of which the user is a member.

The smart values are grouped by object and sorted by the properties available for that object. Each smart value uses a syntax called dot notation inside double mustache brackets. It follows a hierarchy, starting with top-level object and its properties, like {{event.object.property.subProperty}}. Multiword properties use camelCase capitalization.

For example, smart value {{event.groupChangeDetails.groupId}} uses dot notation inside double mustache brackets to access the unique ID of the group involved in a group change event.

• event is the top-level object representing the automation event.

• groupChangeDetails is a property containing details about the group change.

• groupId is the sub-property that holds the unique identifier of the group.
