5.4 Configuring Rules on the Publisher Channel

The rules on a driver should generally be placed only on the Publisher object, not on the Subscriber object. The Matching and Placement policies cannot operate correctly on the Subscriber channel because the Subscriber channel is acting primarily as a source of events for the Publisher channel of the other tree.

It is sometimes desirable to place an Event Transform or Create Policy on the Subscriber channel in order to prevent sending unnecessary data across the channel. See Using Scope Filtering to Manage Users on Different Servers in the Identity Manager 3.5.1 Installation Guide .
