Extended Enterprise used for giving new hires access before start date

Hey All,

Has anyone used extended enterprise to give users access to training before their start date? We import new users from a CSV output from workday (We do not have the workday connection). If we add a personal email field to their user profile would we be able to merge them once they have started? Looking for recommendations on how to implement this.

So long as the user name is the same your CSV file can update them when they start.  You can manually merge accounts, but then also have to delete one and it’s something I’d recommend doing at high volumes.

Merging profiles is time consuming and cannot really be done in large volumes. If the username is set as the proper username your company uses for your employees, the email field can be whatever you like. Once that user starts work, you can then update their email to the company email with your CSV import. No need to merge any profiles. You can also maintain the personal email in an additional field for historical or audit purposes.
