# Source Account Updated Trigger

## Event context

This trigger executes whenever one or more account attributes change on a single account during an account aggregation operation. The trigger cannot determine whether the account update happened on a source or in IdentityNow. It omits events related to IdentityNow accounts such as the IdentityNow Admin. The following actions are considered updates:

- Update account attributes
- Enable or disable an account
- Lock or unlock source accounts
- Change source account password

Use this event trigger to watch for updates to accounts that add highly privileged access, such as an account that is granted privileged access on a sensitive source.
