How to create a Bound List-box with 4 Levels (4244019)

The Bound List Box option in the Software Developer Kit (SDK) only shows an example of 3 levels.

This Solution demonstrates how to expand this to 4 or more levels.

It is expected that the following sample as well as the SDK sample will only function in the Active Roles Web Interface. Implementing Bound List Boxes is not possible in the Active Roles Console.

In the SDK, search for the title: Example: creating bound list-boxes.

Using the attached Script, follow the steps below to implement this Solution. Once you see and understand how it works you may substitute the edsvaLevel1-4 attributes to the attributes you require.

The basic idea of this example is:

• There are 4 levels - Level 1 being the main and the other 3 subsets of it

Perform the following steps to implement the example:

1. Create 4 virtual attributes – edsvaLevel1, edsvaLevel2, edsvaLevel3, edsvaLevel4.
   All are string-syntaxed, single-valued, stored and applied to the User object class
2. Add these attributes to a form for user accounts in the Web Interface
   i.e. Under the Account tab, select Click here to customize this form and then choose Add Entry | Create and add in each of the 4 required attributes. Click Save and Reload (or Customize | Reload) once all 4 attributes are added.
3. Create a script policy (code in attachment) and apply it to a suitable scope (i.e. Test OU)

• In Configuration | Scripts, create a new PowerShell script and paste the text from the attachment
• Once the script is created, create a new Policy in Configuration | Policies and add in the script you just created
• Link this Policy to the appropriate OU (or all of Active Directory if applicable)
