You use tasks to carry out specific actions on objects within One Identity Manager tools. Task definitions are created for object definitions. Depending on the selected objects, you have see different methods displayed in the user interface. These interface forms are made available to system users, taking into account their permissions group memberships, by the additional assignment of interface forms to permissions groups.
If a task definition is assigned a program function (QBMMethodHasFeature table) users can only run this task if they have the necessary permissions groups. An error occurs if the user does not own this program function and tries to run it.
For more information about managing permissions and running methods using program functions, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.
Predefined configurations are maintained by the schema installation and cannot be edited apart from a few properties. You can disable individual predefined tasks to prevent them being shown in the user interface. They remain disabled even after schema installation.
Apart from these object dependent task definitions, form methods and customizer are provided that cannot be edited.
NOTE: The tasks are displayed in alphabetical order in the task view of One Identity Manager.
