Manage Operations

Operation Level

Indicates the defined level of the operation. The list of operations depends on the operation level selected.

• Global level operations apply to all entities and entity types.
• Entity type level operations apply to all entities of that specific type, such as an account or person entity. For static operations, an entity type defines the namespace of the operation. For nonstatic operations, an entity type defines the type of the target entity. An operation at the entity type level does not override an operation at the global level. Select an entity type from the Entity Type list.
• Entity level operations override the operations that are defined at the entity type level. Select an entity type from the Entity type list and select an entity from the Entity list. By default, all operations of a particular entity type are shown for the corresponding entities at the entity level. For example: by default, all the operations for the Entity type Account are shown for all Account Entities (such as LDAP Account and Windows Local Account).

System Entities table

Lists the operations for system entities. To sort the table by a specific column, click the arrow in the column heading. The table contains these columns:

Select

Specifies an entity operation. To select one or more entity operations, select the check box next to the entity operation. To select all entity operations, select the check box at the top of the column.

Operation

Identifies the name of the workflow operation that is applied to the entity. To modify the workflow operation, click the name of the operation.

Type

Indicates whether the entity is user-defined or system-defined. At the entity type level, System Defined is displayed for predefined operations and User Defined is displayed only for new operations in the Type column. For inherited operations at the entity level, System Defined is displayed by default. If the user adds an operation or modifies an existing operation at the entity level, then User Defined is displayed in the Type column.

Level

Displays the logical level to which the operation applies. Can be one of the following levels:

Global

Operations that are defined at the Global level.

Entity type

All Entity type operations have a level of Entity type. All Entity operations start with a level of Entity type because they inherit their behavior from the Entity type operation. These operations can be modified. If an operation is modified, it overrides logically higher or more general operations.

Entity

The new operations defined at the entity level.

Entity override

Indicates that this operation was overridden and now applies to the particular entity instead of to the overall entity type.

You can use these buttons:

Add

Click to add an operation or to override an operation defined at a higher level.

Change

Click to modify the selected operation.

Delete

Click to delete the selected operation.

Refresh

Click to update the list of items in the table.
