This document outlines the steps required to integrate eADM Mer Kompetanse in order to automate user and access management.

Overview

Mer Kompetanse is a learning platform that offers competency management and a leadership dashboard. The platform provides:

• Competency plans with quality-assured course content.

• A report generator that includes standard reports and allows you to create 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 Mer Kompetanse creates, maintains, and deactivates users and departments. User accounts are created with the correct department affiliation and job title. eADM manages user roles, assigning them as either an "employee" or a "manager."

When an employee leaves the organization or changes roles, eADM 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 preparatory 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 obtain 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 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 have been confirmed, the integration can be activated.

Configuration

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

Step 1: Link Existing Users

To link employees from your HR system to their existing user accounts in Mer Kompetanse, both systems must use the same unique identifier.

Step 2: Link Existing Departments

To link 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 enter this number in the ID field for the corresponding department in Mer Kompetanse.

Synchronization Template Example

The following table shows an example of a synchronization template that maps eADM to Mer Kompetanse fields.
