Scripts for conditionally displaying and editing columns

In principle, a user's permissions for displaying and editing columns are controlled by permissions in permissions groups.

However, you can also use scripts to conditionally display or edit scripts. For example, in this way you can control whether or not a column, on a main data form in the Manager, is displayed or can be edited only if another column has a specific value.

Example:

A system role is disabled until the release data is reached. During this time period, the user must be prevented from changing the disabled option in the Manager.

To do this, a script is created specifying the edit permissions for the ESet.IsInActive column.

If $ReleaseDate:Date$>Connection.LocalNow Then

Value = False

Else

Value = True

End If

NOTE:

  • The script does not change the user’s permissions but simply the behavior if the object is loaded in one of the One Identity Manager tools. If you want to limit visibility and editability of a column, change the column permissions of the permissions groups. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.

  • The scripts only affect interactively loaded objects.

  • For example, in lists in the Manager or in the Web Portal, objects are not loaded interactively so the scripts do not work.

  • In the Web Portal, a lot of objects are not loaded interactively due to performance reasons. If you want to use this behavior in the Web Portal, you must customize the components in the Web Designer. In this case, there can be adverse effects on performance when objects are loaded. For more information about editing Web Designer components, see the One Identity Manager Web Designer Reference Guide.

To specify a script for conditionally displaying and editing a column

  1. In the Designer, select the One Identity Manager Schema category.

  2. Select the table and start the Schema Editor with the Show table definition task.

  3. Select the column and then the Column properties view.

  4. Select the Permissions scripts and enter the following scripts in VB.Net syntax.

    • Visibility script: Script for conditionally displaying the column. If the return value is false, the column is not displayed in any One Identity Manager tools.

    • Editability script: Script for conditionally editing the column. If the return value is false, the column cannot be edited in any One Identity Manager tools.

  5. Select the Database > Save to database and click Save.

MVP column

This column is a multi-valued-property (MVP) containing individual value entries that are separated by char(7) or chr(7).

Multi-value specification

You can specify additional requirements on the values of an MVP column. You have the following options:

  • Unique: Set this option if the value must be unique.

  • Case sensitive: Set this option if the case sensitivity should be taken into account when the value is tested.

  • Accent insensitive: Set this option if accent characters should not be taken into account when the value is tested.

Part of alternative primary key

Alternative primary keys are already specified in the default version, but the definition can be customized. Alternative primary keys are used for data transport amongst other things.

Part of the key of a many-to-all table

Identifier of the foreign key of a many-to-all table The foreign key and the dynamic foreign key of a many-to-all table are identified with this option.

Show in wizards

Specifies whether the column is offered in the Rule Editor for compliance rules to create queries and in the Web Portal to display tabular overviews.

Recursive key

Specifies whether this column references a parent object. This input is needed for displaying hierarchical tables.

Example:

In the ADSContainer table, the UID_ParentADSContainer column contains the reference to the parent Active Directory container. The UID_ParentADSContainer column is labeled with this option in order to display this hierarchical link on forms.

Encrypted

Specifies whether the value in this column is encrypted. When the database is encrypted the value in this column is encrypted.

NOTE: If you set this option on database columns, you must encrypt the database again. For more information about database encryption, see the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.

Dynamic foreign key

Dynamic foreign keys refer to the object key in other tables. The object key comprises the table name and the values of the primary key of the actual object. Permitted tables can be limited. All tables are permitted, if there are no restrictions. For more information, see Dynamic foreign key.

No log

Specifies whether the column content is recorded in logs. For example, in the One Identity Manager Service log.

If the column is used in a database view of the Proxy type, the corresponding column is entered in the view. For example, the column ADSDomain.DisplayName is mapped in the UNSRoot view to column RootObjectDisplay. For more information, see Database views of the proxy type.

Table Lookup Support

Each value in these columns is prepared for fast table lookup support. The search is also supported by single values in MVP columns. The internal mapping of prepared data in done in the QBMSplittedLookup table.

Permitted values are:

  • Central user account (CentralAccount)

  • Email adress (EMail)

You can extend the list of permitted values and customize the results.

  • In the Designer, flag columns containing a user account name with the Central user account value in the Table lookup support property.

  • In the Designer, flag columns containing an email address with the Email address value in the Table lookup support property.

The functionality can be used for finding a unique central user account, for example, or a unique default email address for an employee. In the default installation, columns that are taken into account when the central user account or an email address are mapped are labeled with this property. The results are shown in the QERCentralAccount and QERMailAddress database views.

Remarks (custom)

 Text field for additional explanation.

Custom template/formatting not permitted

Specifies whether column's the default configuration can be changed by the user, such as, templates, formatting, minimum length, maximum length, column format.

Max. length

  • Template script. Write the script in VB.Net syntax. This allows all VB.Net script functions to be used. For more information, see Editing value templates.

    • Threshold (stop)

    Limit for the number of objects changed directly by a template. Once this limit has been reached, processing is stopped with an error message. For more information, see Restricting performance of value templates.

    NOTE: If a stop threshold value is specified, it must be larger than the threshold for asynchronous processing.

    Threshold (asynchronous)

    Limit for the number of objects changed directly by a template. Once this limit has been reached, processing takes place synchronously with the One Identity Manager Service. For more information, see Restricting performance of value templates.

    No automatic truncation by template

    Specifies whether the value is automatically truncated to the maximum column length if the maximum length is exceeded when applying a template. If this option is enabled, the value is not automatically truncated to the maximum column length. For more information, see Editing value templates.

    Formatting script

    Formatting script for the column. The formatting script for checking values is written in VB.Net syntax, which allows usage of all VB.Net script functions.

    Visibility script

    Script for conditional displaying of columns in One Identity Manager tools. For more information, see Scripts for conditionally displaying and editing columns.

    Editability script

    Script for conditional editing of columns in One Identity Manager tools. For more information, see Scripts for conditionally displaying and editing columns.

    Foreign key

    Table relations

    As you can see from the One Identity Manager data model, parent/child relations exist between objects. If an object is processed by the One Identity Manager's object layer, all ForeignKey (FK) objects that are related to this object can be accessed. Use VB.Net notation to access objects access using relations.

    Figure 11: Parent/child relation using the example of an employee ADSAccount

    NOTE: You can always edit table relations of custom tables. The table relation supplied with the default tables can only be edited if the referential integrity has been tested using the object layer.

    To edit table relations

    1. In the Designer, select the One Identity Manager schema category.

    2. Select the table and start the Schema Editor with the Show table definition task.

    3. Under Table relations, select the table relation and edit the properties in the Relation properties view.

    4. Select the Database > Save to database and click Save.

    Property Description

    Display name

    Language-dependent relation for displaying in the administration tool’s user interface.

    Only transport as group

    Specifies if the contents of the table should be transferred together with the contents of the referenced table during data transports. You can combine the values. Permitted values are:

    • No value: Dependencies are not taken into account.

    • FK direction: All objects referenced by a foreign key are also exported. Superset handling is carried out.

    • Ignore in superset handling: Referenced objects that are in the target system but not included in the transport package are not deleted.

    Example:

    When a process is transported (JobChain table), the process steps (Job table), events (JobEventGen and QBMEvent tables) and the process step parameters (JobRunParameter table) should also be transported. This should happen whether or not the process, a single process step or a process step parameter is transferred to a transport package. The table relations are labeled with the values CR direction and FK direction.

    The parameter templates (JobParameter table) that are used in the (JobRunParameter table) process step parameters must not be transferred during the transport. The table relations are not labeled with a value.
