View your organization's identity rules

This topic describes how to view the identity rules for your organization's tenant.

Team members with an Organization Admin, Organization Developer, Organization Read Only, or Organization Owner role in Sitecore Cloud Portal can view identity rules.

You can do this after your organization's tenant is created and before you start sending events to Sitecore CDP. We recommend you familiarize yourself with identity resolution before reading this topic.

To view your organization's identity rules:

On the navigation menu, click , Identity rules.
The Identity Rules screen displays the identity rules for your organization's tenant. Each identity rule has a human-readable name and a unique identifier. Sitecore CDP uses the string value of identifier.provider to identify a guest as a customer. This must be the same name as the provider attribute in the IDENTITY event that your organization sends to Sitecore CDP. If it is not the same, Sitecore CDP can not successfully evaluate identity rules.

In the following image, the organization uses two identity rules:
- CRM number - with CRM_ID as the identifier.provider.
- Loyalty number - with loyalty_ID as the identifier.provider.
Sitecore CDP evaluates identity rule(s) in the order in which they display to determine if there is a matching guest profile. If Sitecore CDP does not find a match with the first listed identity rule, it evaluates the next, and so on. If no guest profiles are matched, Sitecore CDP assigns or retains a guest type of visitor.

Using this same example, your organization must send an IDENTITY event that contains an id value for either the CRM_ID or loyalty_ID attributes, for Sitecore CDP to identify a guest. The following IDENTITY event meets the required identity rules because it contains at least one of the required provider attributes, CRM_ID or loyalty_ID:
RequestResponse
```
{
   "channel":"WEB",
   "type":"IDENTITY",
   "language":"EN",
   "currency":"EUR",
   "page":"home page",
   "pos":"myretailsite.com",
   "browser_id":"56860bff-94ba-4d84-aa37-2b5a83d5411b",
   "identifiers":[
      {
         "provider":"CRM_ID",
         "id":"123456"
      },
      {
         "provider":"loyalty_ID",
         "id":"xni8934y77"
      }
   ]
}
```
