Task definitions for the user interface

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.

  4. Assign a permissions group to the task definition.

    1. Select the View > Select table relations menu item and enable the DialogGroupHasMethod table.

    2. In the edit view, select the Permissions group view and select the permissions groups.

  5. Assign the task definition to the object definition for which the task should be offered in the user interface.

    1. Select the View > Select table relations menu item and enable the DialogObjectHasMethod table.

    2. In the edit view, select the Object view and select the object definition.

  6. (Optional) Assign a program function to the task definition.

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.

Example:

A method is displayed only when the object is loaded from the database. Adding a new object must not show the method.

If Not Entity.IsLoaded Then

Value = False

Else

Value = True

End If

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 > Commit to database and click Save.
