Permissions for running scripts
The basic permissions for running scripts are granted to the logged in user through the program feature Allow the starting of arbitrary scripts from the frontend (Common_StartScripts).
If a script is assigned a program function (QBMScriptHasFeature table), users can only run this script if they have the necessary permissions groups. An error occurs if the user does not own this program function and tries to run it.
Detailed information about managing permissions and running scripts through program functions can be found in the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.
Editing and testing script code with the System Debugger
The System Debugger gives you the opportunity to test scripts, templates, formatting rules, methods, and table scripts. Visual Studio debug and edit options are available to you.
The following software must be installed to use the System Debugger:
NOTE: To use the System Debugger with privileges without starting Visual Studio, you must install the One Identity Manager components in a local directory which is not controlled through user accounts.

Loading the script library
When you call the System Debugger, a SystemLibrary.sln solution template with the SystemLibrary solution is loaded in theVisual Studio for editing and testing the scripts.
The following projects are defined in the solution.
Table 141: Solution project files
Methods |
Methods.vb |
This script file contains all methods. |
Scripts |
VIScripts.vb |
This script file contains all predefined scripts from the model components. |
VIDScripts.vb |
This script file contains all predefined scripts from the system components. |
CustomerScripts.vb |
This script file contains custom scripts. Add new scripts here. |
SystemDebugger |
Main.vb |
Start up project. |
Tables |
Tables.vb |
This script file contains all the table scripts. |
Templates |
Templates.vb |
This script file contains all templates and formatting scripts. |
To load the system library
-
Run the SystemLibrary.sln file in the One Identity Manager installation directory.
-
Check whether SystemDebugger is entered in Visual Studio as the start project.
-
Start the solution with F5 in Visual Studio.
-
Connect to the database.
-
Check the solution file directory and the options for creating the script library.
Export system scripts |
Specifies whether predefined scripts are loaded into the system library. |
Export custom scripts |
Specifies whether custom scripts are loaded into the system library. |
Export locked scripts |
Specifies whether only active scripts or also locked scripts are loaded from the script library. |
Update project references |
Specifies whether references used in scripts are also loaded. |
Create backups of existing files |
Specifies whether backups of existing files are made. |
-
Click OK.
The script library files are filled with data from the database.
-
Confirm reloading of each project in Visual Studio.
-
Start the solution with F5 in Visual Studio.
The source code generated for the solution is compiled.
-
Reconnect to the database.
Starts the System Debugger.

Tips for editing script code in the System Debugger
After loading the system library, you can edit scripts, templates, formatting scripts, methods, and table scripts in the System Debugger and test them.
Note the following:
-
You are not permitted to edit VI-Key comments in the source code or to delete them because they label each code block and are needed for backing up scripts in the database.
-
When templates and formatting scripts are loaded, the $ notation is converted into a GetTriggerValue method call. All GetTriggerValue methods calls are converted into $ notation when the changes are saved in the database.
Example:
$FK(UID_Person).IsExternal:Bool$ is converted into GetTriggerValue("FK(UID_Person).IsExternal").Bool when it is loaded
-
In the Designer, you can use the Script Editor to create scripts. Enter the name of the script in the Script Editor and a skeleton script body. This you can export to the script library where you can edit the script with the System Debugger.
-
In the Designer, you can created templates, formatting scripts, methods, and table scripts. You can edit these elements with the System Debugger after you have exported them to the system library.
