Creating an Object
You can create objects such as folders, portlets, and users
in the Administrative Objects Directory.
Note: To create an object you must have the Access Administration
activity right and the activity right associated with creating that
type of object. You must also have at least Edit access to the parent
folder (the folder that will store the object).
- Click Administration.
- If necessary, open the folder in which you want to store
the object.
You can create folders
in the root of the Administrative Objects Directory, but other objects
must be created in a folder.
Note: You can create default profiles
only from the Default Profiles Utility: in the Select Utilities drop-down list, select Default Profiles.
- In the Create Object drop-down list,
select the type of object you want to create.
The list displays only
those objects you have permission to create in the folder.
Depending on the type of object you are creating, either
the object editor opens, or a dialog box opens prompting you to choose
a content source, template, or web service.
- If necessary, select the appropriate content source, template,
or web service and click OK.
A remote authentication source, a remote content source, an
outgoing federated search, or a profile source requires a web service.
A portlet requires a template or web service. A content crawler requires
a content source.
The object editor opens.
- Complete the editor.
