As an administrator, you can create additional access types, such as for intranet web applications or Active Directory (AD) application shared folders.

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.

About this task

Over time, several accesses might be defined. Classify them into commonly available accesses or use categories for searches for infrequent accesses.
Note: The name of an access type cannot contain a back slash (\).

To create an access type in the tree structure, complete these steps:

Procedure

  1. From the navigation tree, click Configure System > Manage Access Types to display the Manage Access Types page.
    The Manage Access Types page lists the default access types.
  2. On the Manage Access Types page, click the icon next to the Access Types node.
  3. Click Create Type to display the Create Access Type page.
  4. On the Create Access Type page, complete the following steps:
    1. In the Access Type Key field, provide a key name. For example, Payroll.
    2. In the Description field, provide a description about the access type.
  5. Click OK to save the access type.
    A message indicates that you successfully created an access type. The Manage Access Types page displays the new access type in the tree structure.
  6. Create additional access types, or click Close.

What to do next

  • You can add property key and value pairs in the CustomLabels.properties resource bundle to provide the display label for this access type.

    See the CustomLabels.properties topic in the Identity Manager Reference Guide.

  • Users can request access to the new access type.
