Defining assignment attributes when creating a role
When creating a role, you can optionally define assignment attributes to be associated with the role.
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 can associate a custom label with an assignment attribute by adding an attribute name
prefixed with roleAssignmentAttribute in the
customLabels.properties resource bundle. This operation provides the display
label for the assignment attribute. For example, roleAssignmentAttribute.creditLimit="Credit
Limit Value". The key for the assignment attribute of the same role must be unique.
Procedure
To define assignment attributes to be associated with a role, complete these steps:
- From the navigation tree, click Manage Roles. The Manage Roles page is displayed.
- On the Manage Roles page, click Create and proceed through the wizard panels until you reach the Assignment Attributes page. If you selected a role type of Dynamic, the Assignment Attributes page is not displayed.
- In the Enter attribute field, specify a name for the assignment attribute you want to add. Note: You must not enter a space, semi-colon, or both when specifying an assignment attribute name.
- Click Add. The new attribute is displayed in the assignment attributes table.
- Click Next to continue through the Role Creation wizard.
- Once the role is created and if the attribute has any display label defined in the customLabels.properties resource bundle, then the assignment attribute table displays the same label.
