User interface elements that are affected by view definitions

Defined views affect the visibility of the tasks that are displayed in the page header menus and on the home page of the Identity Manager Service Center.

Page header menus

The page header menus of the Identity Manager Service Center adapt to the user's views by showing only the tasks that are granted to the user. These tasks can be arranged in groups, with each group displayed as a drop-down menu on the page header. If the user is not granted any tasks in a group, the menu for that task group is not displayed on the page header. In the following scenarios, a task itself is displayed on the page header instead of a drop-down menu.
  • If there is only one task in the group.
  • If the user is granted only one task in the group.
Some tasks might not be displayed in the page header menus. The system administrator can choose not to include tasks in the header menus.
