 Usually, linking objects to CzechIdM entities takes place during a data Synchronization or Provisioning when the CzechIdM system is deployed in the production environment. But it is a common situation that some data have to be corrected in an end system as well, e.g. LDAP. It may well be that the algorithm for object linking during synchronization does not work for all entities on the end system, or the individuals who entered some data manually before CzechIdM had been implemented may have made some mistakes. In either one of those cases, having the option in CzechIdM to link an object to an entity manually comes in handy. Usually, linking objects to CzechIdM entities takes place during a data Synchronization or Provisioning when the CzechIdM system is deployed in the production environment.

-To do so, open a detail of the system on which you want to link an identity to some object: **Systems -> System detail**. Next, the first thing to do is to create a SysAccount and define its ID. In the example below, a manually created identity is being connected to its mirrored object in the HR system.

 Finally, you can make sure that the object still exists on the connected system. You can find it on the tab **Entities** of the connected system and open its detail. You could delete this entity ("SysAccount") from this tab, it will make no change on the real connected system. But you usually don't have any reason to do this, because the object really exists on the system and the Entities are mostly an evidence about really existing objects on the connected system. Finally, you can make sure that the object still exists on the connected system.

 +===== Manually change the value of an attribute for an account =====

 +<note>This feature was introduced in IdM 13.0.</note>
 +
 +Once you open an account (either from the account agenda or from the detail of its owner, you can manually manage values of attributes for a specific account.

 +
 +<note important>Once you start managing the value of an attribute, the value will be sent to the system directly. There is no way to modify it with a script. Standard mapping configuration will not be used.</note>
 +
 +You can modify even values for attributes which are not present in a mapping. You will be able to see and modify all attribute values from the schema.
 +
 +<note important>Currently, this is not supported for virtual systems. You can manually change only the values which are present in the mapping of the system.</note>
 +
 +To edit the value of an attribute, click Edit, change the value. You will notice that the value will now show that it is manually managed.
