Changing personal settings in the Web Interface

When using the Web Interface, you can configure various personal settings, like the user interface language, or the amount of directory objects to list per page.

To change personal settings in the Web Interface

  1. In your browser, open the Active Roles Web Interface.

  2. In the header, click Active Roles 8.2 > Settings.

  3. Configure the following settings as you need:

    • User interface language: Specifies the language of the Web Interface. This setting affects all menus, commands, and forms of the Web Interface, as well as tooltips and help text.

      NOTE: By default, the Web Interface contains only English localization. Installing the Active Roles Language Pack adds support for the following languages:

      • Chinese (Simplified and Traditional)

      • French

      • German

      • Portuguese (Brazilian and European)

      • Spanish

      For more information, see Active Roles Language Pack in the Active Roles Administration Guide.

    • Maximum number of objects to display in search results: Specifies the maximum number of objects to display in single-page lists, such as lists of search results or lists that show contents of containers. The supported value range is 1–20000, and the default value is 1000.

      TIP: Use this setting carefully, as displaying a large number of objects may negatively impact browser performance. Instead of displaying all objects, One Identity recommends using the available search and filtering options to find the objects you need.

    • Number of items to display per page in paged lists: Specifies the maximum number of list items displayed on a single page in multi-page lists. This setting affects only lists (such as approval task lists) that are divided into pages. The supported value range is 1–10000, and the default value is 20.

      TIP: Use this setting carefully, as specifying a small value may result in many pages to list through, while specifying a large value can negatively impact browser performance.

    • Number of page links to display for paged lists: Specifies the maximum number of page number links displayed for multi-page lists. This setting affects only lists (such as approval task lists) that are divided into pages. The supported value range is 1–1000, and the default value is 5.

    • Time (in minutes) for which the notification is visible: Specifies the number of minutes for which Web Interface notifications will be visible on the user interface. The supported value range is 0–43200, and the default value is 0. Keeping the default value of 0 results in notifications never disappearing.

    • Maximum number of notifications to be stored in Active Roles: Specifies the maximum number of notifications to be stored in the Active Roles database. The supported value range is 5–1000, and the default value is 1000.

    • Show objects owned by inheritance or secondary ownership: When selected, the My Managed Resources page of the Web Interface will also list objects of which the user is not the primary owner (manager), but the secondary or inherited owner.

  4. To apply your changes, click Save.

    TIP: Active Roles saves the personal settings on a per-user basis in the Web Interface site configuration. Once saved, the personal settings take effect regardless of which computer you use to access Web Interface. As such, you can configure different personal settings for different Web Interface sites.

Logging out of the Web Interface

Logging out of the Web Interface can prevent harmful security breaches. Because of this, always log out of the Web Interface when your work is completed.

To log out of the Web Interface

  1. Make sure that you finished all your work in the Web Interface.

  2. In the right side of the Web Interface header, click your user name, then click Logout.

Active Roles then closes the current Web Interface session and deletes all session-related data from the local computer.

NOTE: For additional security, the Active Roles Web Interface can forcibly close your session in case of user inactivity. Active Roles administrators can configure the duration of the continuous idle time, after which the Web Interface shows a message prompting users to resume action. If the user does not respond to this prompt, the session will be forcibly closed after an additional grace period.

Web Interface Basics

The following sections provide an overview of the main elements and the most typical workflows of the Active Roles Web Interface.

Web Interface administrative tasks overview

The Web Interface home page displays categories of administrative tasks supported by the Web Interface. The same categories are displayed along the vertical strip on the left side of the Web Interface window, referred to as Navigation bar. Click icons on the Navigation bar to perform the following tasks:

  • Directory Management Browse for, and manage, directory objects, such as users and groups. You can navigate through containers in the directory; view, filter and select objects held in the container; and apply commands to the selected object or container.

  • Search Search for, and manage, directory objects. You can select containers in the directory, and specify search criteria. The Web Interface searches in the selected containers and all of their subcontainers, and lists the objects that match your search criteria, allowing you to apply commands to objects in the list.

  • Approval Perform the tasks related to approval of administrative operations. The scope of your responsibilities depends upon your role in the approval workflow processes.

  • Settings Set up your personal settings that control the display of the Web Interface pages.

  • Customization Add, remove, or modify user interface elements, such as menu items (commands) and pages (forms), intended to manage directory objects. This task requires the rights of Active Roles Admin.

NOTE:

  • For more information on extending the Active Roles provisioning and account administration capabilities to your cloud applications, click the supported connectors in the What's New section from the Active Roles drop-down list.

  • On the title bar of the Active Roles Web Interface, click Feedback to provide a product feedback. You are redirected to a new browser that allows you to provide the feedback.

    • For the Administrator Site, by default, the feedback option is available.

    • For the Helpdesk Site, navigate to Customization > Global Settings and check the Enable user feedback link check-box to enable the feedback option.

    • The feedback option is not available on the Self-Service Site.
