Configuring access catalog information for a group

Configure the access catalog information for a group in the Administrator Console so you can use it in the IVIG Service Center Request Access workflow.

Before you begin

Depending on how your system administrator customized your system, you might not have access to this task. To obtain access to this task or to have someone complete it for you, contact your system administrator.

You must create a service instance before you can configure the access catalog information for a group in IBM Verify Identity Governance.

You can also configure the access catalog information for an existing group.

About this task

Configure the access information for a group by defining certain accesses with the use of a badge. You can highlight certain accesses with badges by attaching text that contains some formatting such as color and font type.

To configure the group access information, complete these steps:

  1. From the navigation tree, click Manage Groups.
    The Select a Service page is displayed.
  2. On the Select a Service page, complete these steps:
    1. Type information about the service in the Search information field.
    2. In the Search by field, specify whether to search against services or business units.
    3. Select a service type from the Search type list.

    3. Expand the Select access type or the Change access type tree to select an access type.
      The tree label depends on whether you want to create or modify a service.
    4. Provide a uniform resource identifier (URI) string in the Icon URL field for the access icon.
    5. Specify search strings in the Search terms field to return specific search terms.
      Add or delete the search terms to suit your requirements.
