You can use tasks to perform specific actions on objects with the One Identity Manager tools, for example, unlocking a user account or starting processes to copy applications. The tasks are shown in alphabetical order in the task view of the One Identity Manager tool.
Task definitions are created for object definitions so that different tasks can be shown in the user interface depending on the selected objects. These tasks are also available to Quests, taking their permissions group memberships into account, when tasks are also assigned to permissions groups. Apart from these object dependent task definitions, form tasks are provided through the user interface form and cannot be edited.
Predefined configurations are maintained by the schema installation and cannot be edited apart from a few properties. The default configuration is moved to a configuration buffer during handling. You can retrieve changes from the configuration buffer and restore the default configuration in this way.

- OR -
To create a new task, select the menu item Object | New.
This shows the tab Permissions groups for assigning permissions groups.
You can disable individual predefined tasks to prevent them being shown in the user interface. They remain disabled even after schema installation.
To disable a task
If a task definition is assigned a program function, the user can only run this task if the necessary program function is assigned to him. An error occurs if the user does not own this program function and tries to run it. Program functions are not assigned to single users but to permissions groups. All users that are assigned to these groups can user the program function.
