Script for conditional displaying of tasks

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

You can also use a script in the custom task definition to conditionally display a task. For example, this way you can control whether a task is only displayed in the Manager if a certain condition is met.

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 task, change the permissions of the permissions groups. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.

To specify a script for conditionally displaying a task

  1. In the Designer, select the task in the User interface > Task definitions category.

  2. Select the Change main data task.

  3. Enter a Visibility script in VB.Net syntax. If the return value is false, task is not displayed in any of the One Identity Manager tools.

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

  • Save required: The task saves data. A corresponding alert message is displayed.

  • Single objects only: This task is only permitted for single objects.

  • Save required + single objects only: The task saves data. A corresponding alert message is displayed. This task is only permitted for single objects.

NOTE: The database needs to be complied after changing a task script.

Visibility script

Script for conditional displaying of tasks in One Identity Manager tools. For more information, see Script for conditional displaying of tasks.

Disabled

Specifies whether the task is displayed in the user interface. Disabled tasks are never displayed in the user interface. Predefined system users are not effected by this limitation. This modification is also permitted for predefined default user interface tasks and is not overwritten when the schema is installed.

Assignment to object definitions (DialogObjectHasMethod table) for which the task will be shown in the user interface.

Permissions group

Assignment of permissions groups (DialogGroupHasMethod table), whose users can apply this task.

Program function

Program function, which is linked to the task definition. If a task definition is assigned a program function (QBMMethodHasFeature table) users can only run this task if they have the necessary permissions groups. For more information about managing permissions and running methods using program functions, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.
