The following describes the layout of the user interface of the One Identity Manager tools, using the example of the Manager. The basic elements and functions of the user interface are the same for all of the One Identity Manager tools.

Certain components of the One Identity Manager’s graphical user interface are stored in the One Identity Manager schema and can be tailored to suit customer requirements. Menu items in the navigation structure, interface forms, and task definitions can be configured in this way.

Menu items, interface forms and task definitions are assigned to permissions groups. The user's effective components of the user interface depend on the authentication module used for logging in to the One Identity Manager tools. If a user logs in to a One Identity Manager tool, a system user is found and the available menu items, interface forms, task definitions, and individual program functions are identified depending on the permission groups to which this system user belongs and the adapted user interface is loaded.

Data is displayed as objects in the user interface. User interface objects are meta-objects. You provide a selection of configurable elements, which describes how the data stored in the database is perceived. These objects enable data to be distinguished by specific properties. They provide an additional control function for configuring the user interface. Hence, interface forms and tasks are linked to object definitions which means that different forms and tasks are displayed in the user interface depending on which object is selected.

NOTE: See the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide for details on how to adapt the user interface to your needs.
