Step 1: Create an AuthType

The new authorization type you create should extend the existing TaskDefinition, TaskInstance, and TaskTemplate AuthTypes. To add the authorization type, edit the Authorization Types Configuration object in the repository and add a new authorization type element for your task.

Use the <AuthType> element to create a new authorization type. This element has one required property: name. The example below displays the correct syntax for an <AuthType> element.

After creating the authorization type, you must edit the Authorization Types Configuration object in the repository, and add the new <AuthType> element.

The following example shows how to add a custom task to move multiple users into a new organization.

   <Extension> 
      <AuthTypes> 
         <AuthType name=’Move User’ extends=’TaskDefinition,TaskInstance,TaskTemplate’/> 
      </AuthTypes> 
   </Extension> 
</Configuration>
