Configuring access catalog information for a service

Configure the access catalog information for a service in the Administrator Console so you can use it in the Identity Manager 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 type before you can configure the access catalog information for a service in IBM Verify Identity Governance.

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

About this task

Configure the access information for a service 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.

Procedure

To configure the service access information, complete these steps:

  1. From the navigation tree, click Manage Services.
    The Select a Service page is displayed.
  2. On the Select a Service page, click Create to display the Create a Service wizard.
    Alternatively, select an existing service and click Change to configure its access catalog information.
  3. Specify appropriate values in the corresponding tabbed pages.
  4. On the Access Information page, complete these steps to configure the access information:
    1. Select the Define an Access check box to activate the access definition fields.
    2. Specify an appropriate name in the Access name field.
    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.
    6. Specify any free form information about the access item in the Additional information field.
    7. Expand the Badges section to specify the badges that are associated with the role.
      • Specify a badge text in the Badge text field.
      • Assign a class from the Badge class list for the badge text.
      You can see the preview of your badge specifications in the Preview area.
  5. Depending on whether you created or modified the service access information, click OK or Finish when you are done.
