To Schedule a Job for Assigning Users to Applications

In Oracle Identity Analytics, you cannot use the user interface to manually add users to (or remove users from) applications. Instead, after you create an application, you need to schedule a job using configuration files. The job scans all users and assigns the users who have an account in the selected resource type to the application.

1. To enable a scheduling job, edit the scheduling-context.xml file located in the $RBACX_HOME/WEB-INF folder.

2. To schedule a job, edit the jobs.xml file located in the $RBACX_HOME/WEB-INF folder.

For detailed instructions, see Scheduling a Job by Editing the Configuration Files

Remember to restart the application server after editing the configuration files.

Note - If you select two or more attribute values from the same resource, users who are associated with any one of the selected attribute values are assigned to the application. However, if you select one or more attribute values from multiple resources, users who have an account in all the multiple resources will be assigned to the application.
