Console_tree

Console tree

The left pane of the Active Roles console contains the console tree.

The console tree root is labeled Active Roles. The name of the Administration Service is shown in square brackets. If you have Advanced view mode selected for Active Roles console display (View | Mode), the following folders are shown under the console tree root:

  • Configuration  Contains all Active Roles proprietary objects held in containers with appropriate names.
  • Active Directory  Contains a list of domains registered with Active Roles. In this folder, you can browse domains for directory objects (users, group, computers), and perform management tasks on those objects.
  • AD LDS (ADAM)  Contains a list of AD LDS directory partitions registered with Active Roles. In this folder, you can browse partitions for directory objects (users, group, containers), and perform management tasks on those objects.
  • Applications  Contains a list of applications integrated with Active Roles, such as Reporting, and allows for quick access to those applications.

The console display mode determines which folders are displayed in the console tree. For more information, see View mode later in this document.

Details_pane

Details pane

When you select an item in the console tree, the details pane changes accordingly. To perform administrative tasks, click items in the details pane and use commands on the Action menu. The Action menu commands also appear on the shortcut menu that you can access by right-clicking items in the console tree or details pane.

By default, the objects listed in the details pane are sorted in ascending order by object name. You can change the sorting order by clicking a column heading. You can add and remove columns in the details pane using the Choose Columns command on the View menu.

In the Active Roles console you can apply filters to the details pane in order to search for directory objects. To configure a filter, select a domain and then click Filter Options on the View menu. It is also possible to find an object in the details pane by typing a few characters. This will select the first item in the sorted column that matches what you typed.
