To change personal settings in the Web Interface
-
In your browser, open the Active Roles Web Interface.
-
In the header, click Active Roles 8.1.5 > Settings.
-
Configure the following settings as you need:
-

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