<p>Hi Aivo,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>very long time ago there were only users and accounts, and $user
and $account were the variables holding the objects.<br>
</p>
<p>After midPoint was extended for Generic synchronization, $user
still works, but $focus should be used for all other-than-user
Focal objects ($focus works also for Users). $shadow is also more
generic representation of the account (or entitlement or
whatever).</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>So $shadow should work for any resource object, not only for
account.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Personally, I usually use $user for User object, $focus for other
Focal objects (Role, Org); and tend to use $shadow everywhere
where I previously used $account.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Maybe the developers can correct/extend what I have written.<br>
</p>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Ivan<br>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I noticed that sometimes in resource correlation xml there is
used $shadow variable and sometimes $account variable. Are they
the same or completely different parameters with different
meaning?</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>
