Yes. In SailPoint IdentityIQ, marking an application account schema attribute as managed designates that the values discovered for that attribute are treated as managed entitlement values and promoted into the Entitlement Catalog. This is typically used for attributes that represent access, such as groups, roles, permissions, profiles, or other application-specific entitlement assignments. During aggregation, IdentityIQ reads account data from the application. When a schema attribute is marked as managed, the distinct values of that attribute can become ManagedAttribute objects, allowing IdentityIQ to govern them as cataloged access items.
This catalog promotion is important because raw technical values often need business context before they can be reviewed, requested, approved, certified, or reported on. The Entitlement Catalog can store metadata such as display name, description, owner, requestability, classification, and other governance attributes. These values then become usable in access certifications, access requests, reports, policy evaluation, and role modeling.
Therefore, the statement accurately describes the managed attribute function. Reference topics: Applications — account schema attribute properties; Access Modeling — entitlement catalog; Governance — certification content and entitlement review.
