Managing Resources

This section describes how to manage existing resources.

The topics are organized as follows:

• To View the Resource List

• To Edit a Resource Using the Resource Wizard

• To Edit a Resource Using Resource List Commands

To View the Resource List

You can view existing resources from the Resource List.

1. Log into the Administrator Interface.

2. Click Resources in the main menu.

   The Resource List is displayed on the List Resources subtab.

To Edit a Resource Using the Resource Wizard

Use the Resource Wizard to edit resource parameters, account attributes, and identity system parameters. You can also specify the identity template that should be used for users created on the resource.

1. In the Identity Manager Administrator Interface, click Resources in the main menu.

   The Resource List is displayed on the List Resources subtab.

2. Select the resource you want to edit.

3. In the Resource Actions drop-down menu, select Resource Wizard (under Edit).

   The Resource Wizard opens in Edit mode for the selected resource.

To Edit a Resource Using Resource List Commands

In addition to the Edit Resource Wizard, you can use the Resource List commands to perform a range of edit actions on a resource.

1. Choose one or more options from the Resource List.

   These options include:

   • Delete resources. Select one or more resources, and then select Delete from the Resource Actions list. You can select resources of several types at the same time. You cannot delete a resource if any roles or resource groups are associated with it.

   • Search for resource objects. Select a resource, and then select Find Resource Object from the Resource Object Actions list to find a resource object (such as an organization, organizational unit, group, or person) by object characteristics.

   • Manage resource objects. For some resource types, you can create new objects. Select the resource, and then select Create Resource Object from the Resource Object Actions list.

   • Rename resources. Select a resource, and then select Rename from the Resource Actions list. Enter a new name in the entry box that appears, and then click Rename.

   • Clone resources. Select a resource, and then select Save As from the Resource Actions list. Enter a new name in the entry box that appears. The cloned resource appears in the resource list with the name you select.

   • Perform bulk operations on resources. Specify a list of resources and actions to apply (from CSV-formatted input) to all resources in the list. Then launch bulk operations to initiate the bulk-operation background task.

2. Save your changes.
